Steps

Proverbs 16:9 - "In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps."

Galatians 5:25 - "If we live by the Spirit, with the Spirit also we should keep in step." (Or, really, in the Greek: "go in battle-order.")

As we live out our lives, do we understand that our Past (His redemption of us from the brokenness of sin), our Present (our calling to live for Him as "new creations") and our Future (living with Him forevermore) are all wrapped up in the eternal NOW "steps" He is taking in our life TODAY? Oh, may we not spend too much of our lives being the man who "plans his course"; let's be the eternally-minded step-by-steppers who are going in the POWER of His Holy Spirit NOW, TODAY!

His steps are the plan for our course which lead to His greatest glory. May you and I be learning to go in beautiful battle-order this day, brothers and sisters!
