Every Step YOU Take

You may have heard the old adage “The only job that starts at the top is a gravedigger.” I find that a wonderful similitude. To start at the top with God would in essence be digging your own grave. I don’t know about you, but personally I’m done with trying to kill myself by doing things to “promote” and “keep afloat”. If you’ve not yet learned this lesson, you soon will! Every plan has a God ordained STEP, and He tests you at every STEP you take.

Job 23:10: “But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested (examined by trial) me, I will come forth as gold.”
He did not say I would come forth as “silver”, which represents redemption. He said I would come forth as gold”, which represents deity. That does not mean we come forth as God; it means we come forth as godly.

Job 23:11: “My feet have closely followed His STEPS; I have kept to His way without turning aside. ”
Now the word STEP there means “to go forward”, “not quit or stop”, “move upward”.

Psalms 37:23: “The STEPS of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in His way. “

So take another STEP for crying out loud. Some of us have been on the same STEP for 20 years. Let’s move forward. The Lord is with you every STEP you take.
“When you walk your STEPS will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble. ” – Proverbs 4:12

Your choice: Walk or run. God’s choice for us: Do one or the other, but get on with the program. Know that you will be tested. Know that you will be tried. Know that you will be examined. But rejoice! Because with every breath you take, every move you make, every STEP you take, He will be watching you!
