January · Day 6 of 365

Step Forward in Faith

New Beginnings

Scripture
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)

Reflection

Every step you take today is a fresh chance to walk with the Lord. Proverbs 3:5-6 declares, "Trust in the Lord with all thine…" — 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?
