ONE STEP AT A TIME

Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise. Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. Prov. 19:20

We may be called to do what nobody understands except those to whom the word of guidance is given-and with it, His promise to. The word must come first, and also His promise. You and I must be sure of what we are called to do, with an inward conviction that absolutely nothing can shake. Only God and those who have to walk in that path know how hard this kind of faith-life can be. But He does know. And when the people around us don't hear the words and the voice we have heard, and only say, "It thunders..."then He comes near and we know Him as we never knew Him before...If only the next step is clear, then the one thing to do is take it! Don't pledge your Lord or yourself to any steps beyond what you know. You don't see them yet.
