Every Step Of The Way: A 3-Day Devotional with Cade ThompsonSample

DAY 3 - GOING INTO THE FUTURE - ONE STEP AT A TIME

Sometimes, we think we need to make a huge change or do something dramatic. But many times, all we have to do is take one step at a time. Sometimes, we try to take every step on our own, and forget that the Lord is the one who establishes our steps in the first place. 

Proverbs 16:9, "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."

When we walk with Jesus daily, it changes the way we live, how we make decisions, and ultimately how we love others around us. 

God is writing our stories in a beautiful way, but sometimes we can miss it. Even if we do, he is faithful. Seasons change, people change, but Jesus remains the same. 

Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

It doesn't mean life will always be easy; life will always have ups and downs. What it does mean is that following JESUS is worth it ‘Every Step of the Way.’ 

So what is it that you ultimately need to surrender to the Lord today? Where is it that you need to trust him every step of the way? Is it finances, relationships, anxiety, depression, fear of the unknown, disappointments, physical pain? 

Whatever it is, give it to GOD, and know that he is - and always will be - faithful. 

REFLECTION

• Take a moment to be still. Write down what you need to surrender to God, in order to freely walk step by step with Him. 
• Put what you wrote down in a place where you will see it every day, and make a commitment to read it every day as well. 
• Then let this be a reminder that you can go to God, and that he can help you let go of the past. Trust God with your future, and in every step that you take. 

PRAYER 

“God, I surrender my fears, failures, and everything in between to you. I know that this life is better in your hands than It could truly ever be in my hands. Teach me what it means to walk with you EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. AMEN.”
