Take the First Step

It is God’s will to lead you on a day-by-day basis.  He has given His Spirit to guide you every day.

Most believers do not know that.  They expect God to reveal His complete will for their lives in one big revelation.  Do not make that mistake.  Do not just sit around waiting for God to show you whether or not He wants you to go up into Africa as a missionary for the rest of your life.

Let Him begin to lead you in little things first, to tell you what you need to do about this situation, or the next.  He will show you what you need to change.  As He does, you will change one thing at a time.

The truth is, you probably already know one thing God wants you to do.  You might not know why He wants you to do it.  You may not know where it is leading, but you have heard His voice in your heart.

If you want to keep on hearing Him, you will have to set aside your own ambitions and desires.  Spend time in prayer and in the Word.  Tune your ear to the voice of His Spirit.

“The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step].”  Psalm 37:23 (AMPC)

Learn to trust Him.  Remember that He is smarter than you are.  Be willing to do what He says whether you can understand it with your mind or not.  Obey even His smallest instructions.  If you do, He will eventually change your whole life, one little step at a time.

“Father, I come to in the Name of Jesus.  I know You want the very best for me.  Help me to hear and obey You regardless of the outcome, regardless if I do not know what comes next, because I know that You do.  Thank you that I can completely trust in and rely on You.  Amen.”

Let us take this world for the Kingdom of God one obedient step at a time.

God’s Richest Love and Blessings to all of our LFM family.
