Step by Step

Most people want to be successful at something! Unfortunately, whether it’s to be successful in their spiritual walk, with a diet or in a relationship, very few people really want to invest the time and effort it takes to get there and stay there! If it was all fun and games, everybody would jump in. God gives us some insight into this very thing in our spiritual walk. In Isaiah 28:10 it tells us that we learn “precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little” I’m one of those people that likes to get where I’m going in a hurry. No wasting time for me! You’d know that if you’ve ever been driving behind me flying down Main Street. But getting to where God wants us to be requires growing little by little. It’s kind of like climbing stairs. We may get winded along the way, but I figure that’s what the landings are for! We “land” there and catch our breath to ready ourselves for the rest of the climb. And here’s what else happens as we climb one step at a time. If we have anything that hinders us from reaching our goal like a wrong mindset or old habits and an unhealthy lifestyle, those things are like baggage and the farther you climb, the heavier they get. After awhile, you’re going to drop them by the wayside because you realize they just won’t work where you’re headed. God is taking us from point A to point B and He knows how to get us to shake off the things that can cause us to fail. Success is at the top of the steps so keep climbing! You’re going to make it!
