One Step at a Time

The Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you. — Genesis 12:1

When King Jehoshaphat needed to hear from God, Abram learned to trust God to lead him one step at a time. His story begins in Genesis 12:1. It is here that God gave Abram step one - not step two. He basically told him that he would not get step two until he had accomplished step one. This is so simple, but so profound and really insightful about how God speaks to us. He gives us direction "one step at a time."

Many people refuse to take step one until they think they understand steps two, three, four, and five. We should be inspired to go forward in God’s plan for our life by trusting Him with the first step. After the first few steps, faith will grow because we should then realize there is always a sure foundation beneath each step God instructs us to take.

God asked Abram to take a difficult step by leaving everything and everyone familiar to him. But, God promised him that taking such a step would be to his advantage.

When we obey God we are blessed. God has a good plan for each of our lives, a plan that is to our advantage. All we have to do is walk in it— "one step at a time."

Obey God’s voice one step at a time.
