January · Day 18 of 365
Step Forward in Faith
New Beginnings
Scripture
“Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.”
— Hebrews 12:1-2 (KJV)
Reflection
Every step you take today is a fresh chance to walk with the Lord. Hebrews 12:1-2 declares, "Let us lay aside every weight, and…" — and this promise is for you. The God who made the morning has also prepared a path for your feet. He delights in your honest, humble attempt to follow Him. Do not look back too long. Do not stare too anxiously ahead. Walk today with God, one step at a time, and you will find that He is enough for every moment.
Prayer
Lord, give me grace to begin again. Where I have grown weary, renew me. Where I have wandered, gently lead me home. Amen.
Thought for the Day
Where can I welcome God into the very first hour of this day?
