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.
One Small Step Today
