a step at a time...

the pages of the bible and the pages of the newspaper and the pages of our personal history all tell stories of how in our haste we have built our lives so poorly in our rush, in rapid decisions we have made some bad trades.  we’ve traded careers for embezzlement.  we’ve traded health and reputation for addiction.  we’ve traded marriage and children for an affair.  and we’ve done these so quickly.  in such a rush.  i don’t want to live my life like that.  and you don’t either.

in my study about the life of JESUS there’s something i’ve noticed.  as i really try to get to know JESUS, as i read about HIM in the bible, i realize that HE never one time ran anywhere.  not once.  HE lived HIS life a step at a time.  in unhurried fashion HE made HIS decisions and HE followed HIS FATHER’s will.  i thought that’s the kind of life i want to live.  in unhurried fashion, step at a time i want to follow my heavenly FATHER’s will.  that’s how i want to live.

how about you? 

just a thought from the front porch…
