One-minute read.
God takes pleasure in giving us access to His kingdom. Not wanting any to perish, the Lord invites all people, through faith in His Son, but not everyone accepts. Choosing their path and going astray doesn’t take much effort. Even as a follower of Jesus, I can stray from the righteous path. Having the Shepherd in my life means when I do falter, the Lord helps me find my way again.
Moving forward into the unknown can evoke feelings of fear and anxiety. But our heavenly Father doesn’t want us to worry; He wants us to follow and trust in Him. Taking one step at a time, the Lord leads us on our path of purpose, helping us fulfill our mission in life before He calls us back home to Him.
Currently, in limbo, Ron and I await the closing date of our new home. God’s guidance has led us to make a significant life change, and we both feel excited but apprehensive about what will come. As we try to wait well, seeking the Lord’s peace that surpasses all understanding, we’ve begun packing, trusting God to work out any problems that might arise. The Lord doesn’t want us to fret; He wants us to trust, so we do, one day at a time.
The one-time decision to follow Jesus requires a daily commitment to seeking and finding His direction. As we pursue Him, God leads us to our destiny.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for gifting us Your kingdom through Jesus. Please help us follow closely, living boldly for Christ and trusting Your guidance one day at a time.
IJNIP. Amen
