Step By Step (Daily Devotional)

Greetings, it's our joy to be able to come to you and spend a few moments in God's word and pray with you. As we continue to reflect on living with purpose, living with divine purpose, another important truth we must understand is that God takes us into His purposes step by step. Of course, all of us like to go from step A to step Z as fast as we can, we want to just jump, we want to enter into the great things that God has for us. But you know, God takes a step by step. God is not in a hurry and every step of the journey is important and it's intentional. The Bible tells us in Proverbs chapter 4 verse 18, ‘the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter and brighter unto the perfect day.’ He says, look, our path is compared to the sun that rises up and as it keeps coming to midday, things get brighter and brighter, there's a progressive increase of clarity, of understanding, of everything, it's increasing, but it's progressive. The sun doesn't disappear and become fully bright. It goes brighter and brighter unto the midday. So likewise, our journey with God is something that's progressive, step by step He takes us. Every step hopefully is a step-up, a step higher into the things He has for our lives. We must learn to journey with God step by step. Sometimes, we can get impatient, you want to go three steps up very fast, but if we circumvent the intermediary steps, we are the ones who lose out on what God wants to put in our lives in each of those steps. Sometimes because we are looking at getting to some higher level, we treat our present level with disrespect. We don't like it, why am I here? What am I doing? I'm supposed to be there. Well, you must value each and every step of the way that even at each and every step is designed by God for a purpose in our lives to help us grow, help us develop. As we honor each step of the way, what God is doing in each step of today, as we honor that, then we are able to move up to higher levels with God. So, understand that our journey into the purposes of God is progressive. It happens step by step and we must receive, we must honor what God is doing every step of the way, then we can enter into God's highest and God's best for our lives, learn to learn to journey with God, step by step. Let’s pray, Father, we thank you that even as you unfold your plans and purposes for our lives, you're not in a hurry, you take us step by step. Give us the grace, give us the understanding we need, to journey rightly with you, in step and in time with you and to assimilate everything that you have in each step of the journey. Thank you, Father, in Jesus’s name, Amen.
