Me: Ready for our bible study?

Prodigal: Yeah, but you gotta shoot straight with me!

Me: Lol….very funny!

This is from the book Just Enough Light for the Step I’m on by Stormie Omartian.

More and more, God is teaching me to trust Him for every step I take. He constantly calls me to stretch beyond what’s comfortable. To walk through new territory when I would rather stay with the familiar. To face difficult physical, mental, and emotional challenges. To do things I know I can’t achieve by myself without His power. Each time something is required of me that I’m certain I am unable to accomplish in my own strength, I see a picture of just one or two steps being illuminated, while those before and after are engulfed in darkness and cannot be seen. This describes my walk with God. I trust Him for each day of life, grateful for every breath, determined to look for the blessing in the moment, no matter what the circumstances. I follow His lead–even when I can’t see where I’m going, even when it scares me to do so—because deep within my spirit I know that these simple steps of faith are preparing me for eternity.

Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; when I fall, I will arise; when I sit in darkness, The LORD will be a light to me. Micah 7:8
