In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9
Does God direct your steps?
Do you allow Him to plan your days?
When you wake up, what is your first thought?
Often we decide what is next.
We decide what is on the agenda.
But is that the very best?
When you look back at your life, what steps will be the most memorable?
Which ones will come to mind?
Sure there are big steps like marriage, the birth of children, the death of loved ones.
But even those are made of little steps in between.
The dating years that led up to your wedding day.
The long days of pregnancy, leading up to the birth.
Years of moments with your loved one before their last.
When you think of your childhood, lots of little steps create the emotion you feel when recalling your youth.
The millions of tiny moments with your children create the fond yearning of wishing to hug their little selves just one more time.
Healthy eating, exercising, or any healthy habit consist of directing step after step.
Bad ones, too, unfortunately, arrive just the same way.
Ask God to direct your steps.
He wants the best for you. The very best.
It’s never too late to start.
And today is a great day to begin.
