THE NEXT STEP

The next right step is always to walk forward with thanks, eyes on God. ~ Ann Voskamp

Sometimes we don’t always know what to do next. When grief, sudden loss, or something terrible happens, we may find ourselves completely paralyzed. The thought of moving forward doesn’t even seem like an option. Thank goodness our bodies automatically take that next breath, because at the time, even that might seem impossible. But a gift we have been given as followers of Jesus Christ – is to lift our eyes to God. To take our eyes off whatever our current situation is and look directly at Him.

Life is heavy, life is hard, life is tough, but God isn’t. He’s always right there with us, willing and ready to help us take that next step, even if we don’t know what it is. We can take a deep breath and focus on Him. Remind ourselves of His love, care, and His constant presence in our lives. So, if you ever find yourself wondering what to do next, how to take that next step forward. Stop – give Him thanks and just look up. He’s right there waiting.

Prayer

Thank you, God, that you are always there for us. We don’t have to go anywhere to find you or search you out. We just need to put our eyes and heart toward You. Thank you, Lord, for your constant love. Amen.
