Guided Steps In Christ

 When we take a step, we think of how are we ever going to move forward? Well, with God we can move forward in knowing that God is in control, and knowing that God gives us the courage that we need in order to grow, in order to take the opprotunity to move in a direction of hope and encouragement.

Step by Step we're moving forward, little by little we're taking ground, Every prayer a powerful weapon, Strongholds come tumbling down, and down and down.

When we see Jesus, we see Him lifted High, when we see Jesus we call Him or call on Him to help us.

The steps we take in order to grow is where we are Seeking The Son out of the rain, out of the darkness, because He is our guiding Light. He helps us to see when we can't see the steps we need to go forward.

To move forward in the things that we seek and to move forward in the things that we have a hard time with.

What I mean with that is, sometimes and even for me especially, it can be hard to let of go the past.

You may wonder, well what can I do about that? Well, one of the things we can do, is know that God is in the uttermost control in guiding us in the right path, and in the right steps to let go of our past that does not define who we are in Christ.

Who we are in Christ, is a Beloved Child that desperately seeks out His Word and Him because when we take the steps to seek Him, we are taking the steps to be on the path that God wants for our life, and we are taking the steps that God sees in the plan that He has for us as His Children because as His Child, we are wonderfully, fearfully, and beautifully made in the Image of Him and we are Saved and we need to take the step to Honor Him and to take the step of not believing in the Enemy but believe in Christ who created us, so that we may walk by Faith and not by Sight and do His Will that He wants for our lives because without Him, we would have nothing and because we have Him, we have what we need in order to grow in the steps that He wants us to take because following God's Steps is amazing.

Proverbs 3 verse 5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Jeremiah 29 verse 11: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Philippians 3 verse 14: I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

I will seek You in the morning, And I will learn to walk in Your ways, And Step by step You'll lead me And I will follow You all of my days.

Your love is my reward, Your love is my reward, When every day is just another struggle And every choice is an act of war, Gotta pray, gotta press on To the prize worth fighting for, When it feels like I'll never make it, When my heart's crying out for more, Gotta pray, gotta press on To the prize worth fighting for, The battle rages on, But your promise keeps me strong, I know I'll win this race, With your unfailing grace.

I thought, God, why don't You do something? Well, I just couldn't bear the thought of People living in poverty, Children sold into slavery, The thought disgusted me, So, I shook  my fist at heaven, Said, God, why don't You do something? He said, I did, I created you, Now listen, If not us, then who, If not me and you, Right now, It's time for us to do something, If not now, then when, Will we see an end, To all this pain, Oh, it's not enough to do nothing, It's time for us to do something.

Proverbs 16 verse 9: In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.

Romans 8 verse 28: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

In all of this, we see that the steps we take in Christ are the ones that we need in order to move forward with Him, rather than not take any steps at all and believe what the Enemy tries to tell us by saying we are not strong, by saying we are not good enough, and how could we really walk with Christ in steps?

Well, we can walk with Christ in steps because He shows us that we are strong, that we are good in the eyes of Him and that we can move onward in our Faith because we have that Everlasting Hope of Eternal Life, and knowing that we have Eternal Life and we will one day be with Christ for Eternity, should want to make us walk step by step every day with Him, while we lean on the Everlasting Arms of Him and Trust and Obey for there is no other way, and without Him we really would have nothing.

Joshua 1 verse 9: Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

That last verse should be an indication that when we trust in the Lord, we can walk in our Faith step by step with courage and strongly because God is the one that guides our steps and He helps us fight our battles that we face and when we know and trust that He will fight our battles, then we really don't have to worry because we don't have to fear that something will go wrong, all we need to do is Trust His Timing because when we trust in His Timing, we know that greater things will be done and greater things will come because God is Faithful, God is Good, God is Loving, Compassionate, and He after all is Love.

An Acronym that I think sums up what this study is about and hopefully it does inspire us to not only take those guided steps in Him but to also help us take the direction of guiding others to take their first step into seeking and wanting to seek who Christ is, so that they can have a relationship with Christ.
