Steps

Psalms 37:23 “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.”
Isn’t it strange how life works?  
You want something and you work for it and wait for it and work for it and wait for it, and you feel like it’s taking forever to arrive.  Then it happens and it’s over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed.
So, how can you avoid these feelings of loss and confusion?
-By being more present every step of the way. Pursue your goals and dreams while at the same time enjoying the journey of getting there.  God has ordered your steps.
-Embrace the steps you’re taking, even when you feel like you’ve lost your footing. Sometimes your road gets bumpy.  Every step doesn’t have to be comfortable or perfectly placed.
-By letting go of what “should” happen or what “could” happen every step of the way, you free up your life to what God has in store for you.  You may not lead the exact life you desired, but you will lead a meaningful, miraculous existence, guaranteed because God is with you and guiding your steps.
Life is often difficult, but it’s not a chore.  It's an adventure, so feel good about the steps you’re taking right now as directed by God. Do so and you’ll smile all the way to eternity.
Psalms 17:5 “Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.”
