“He replied, “Because your faith is much too small. What I’m about to tell you is true. If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, it is enough. You can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there.’ And it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20-21 (NIRV)

 I think the scariest steps to take are when we are in the dark. We don’t know what we may trip over and even the most familiar path seems different when we can’t see it. To me that’s what steps of faith are like; God points us in a direction that we can’t see completely. We have to have faith and believe He will guide our footsteps until He lifts the darkness. When we allow unbelief to creep in, our steps get shaky and unsure. That is when we trip over whatever obstacle the devil puts in our way. Another thing that makes our steps shaky is when we try to see further ahead than God intends. When we stop and overthink the next step because we aren’t quite sure where we are going that’s unbelief in God’s plan. God isn’t asking us to take giant steps and cover a lot of ground at one time. He is asking us to be faithful in little amounts to take one step at a time. It’s not the great leaps that get us the farthest; it’s the small but steady one step at a time.

 “Heavenly Father, Thank You for showing us the path You have planned for us. Give us the courage and strength to focus on the small, steady steps of faith it takes to follow Your path.”

For His Glory
