Directed Steps
Scripture
A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10
Devotional
It is good to make plans. It is also freeing to remember that God directs steps, not just finished destinations. You may be tempted to demand a complete blueprint for retirement before you can feel at peace. But God often gives direction one step at a time. Make a thoughtful plan, then hold it with open hands. A changed appointment, a conversation, or an unexpected need may become part of His guidance. Direction is not always dramatic; sometimes it is the grace to do the next right thing with a willing heart. Your life is not off course simply because it has become less predictable.
Reflection
What next step can I take without demanding to know every step after it?
Prayer
Father, direct my steps. Help me plan wisely and surrender gladly when You lead another way. Amen.
