One Step At A Time

Often times the passage of life can be reduced to acheivements or seasons, where age milestones become like arrivals and goals are things you set and reach.  And be they short term or long term the after-effects are the same, leaving you hungry and left asking, "So what now?"

But in Christ we are called to treat life as a daily ordeal, a single-serving existence, if you will.  In this case life is thought of as a sequence of single steps of devotion where each point in the progression comes after the last which leads then to the next, and so on and so forth.  The point, then, becomes not that we would consider life as some large, expansive tract or full-length novel, but as a simple proposition: one step at a time.

This is expressed so many times in the Scripture: deny yourself daily, manna for the day, give us this day our daily bread, etc.  We would do well to take this mind among us, to live each day one day at a time and to give it fully to God throughout, remembering always that it is He who made us and, after all, it is His day too!
