Each Step

He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. 
Psalm 23:3

The light on the path before you may be limited, but this is for a purpose. The Lord will lead you step by step. His desire is for you to depend on Him inch by inch and centimeter by centimeter as you progress in His purposes.

This may feel disheartening because others expect you to have answers, and the pressure to have the path charted clearly continues to mount. But do not be fearful or dismayed. It is the Lord Himself who has engineered these circumstances for your success and His glory—“so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God” (1 Corinthians 2:5).

So depend on Him. Surrender to Him fully. And obey immediately when He reveals the next step. He will give you strength for every move you must make and bring you to a better destination than you could have hoped for or imagined (Ephesians 3:20).

Father thank you for renewing my strength and guiding me each step of the way. I praise You for teaching me to trust You more, amen. 

In His presence …submit to His leadership.

EVERY DAY IN HIS PRESENCE, CHARLES F. STANLEY
