One Foot In Front Of The Other

Lao Tzu, 6th century BC Chinese philosopher, is known for a lot of things one being his statement about any long journey.  He said:

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

I’ve recently heard some people from the church I pastor to friends I’m close to talk about where God’s taking them.  I’ve also heard from others who seem overwhelmed, not in a good way, with life in general.  Everything from never ending to-do lists to endless “good” things that could be done which are suffocating their capacity to accomplish the truly “GREAT” things they should be doing.

And whether it’s noticing God’s leading in your life or simply making it through today… they all begin by placing one foot in front of the other. 

If you’re not where you’d like to be spiritually, take notice of where you used to be and where you are today.  Remember and appreciate the steps God’s directed you in because what He’s started He’s all about completing (Phil 1:6; 2Cor 3:18)!

And if it’s about never ending lists and the “good” competing with “great,” step back.  Pray, evaluate and ask God for the grace to move forward… one foot in front of the other!

walk on,

Pastor Andrew
