God made the pages of my devotional book stick together today.
Today is September 23rd. I inadvertently turned too many pages, and read the daily word for September 25th.
And it was exactly what I needed.
"Pour all of your energy into trusting Me. It is through trust that you stay connected to Me, aware of My Presence. Every step on your life-journey can be a step of faith. Baby steps of trust are simple for you; you can take them with almost unconscious ease. Giant steps are another matter altogether: leaping across chasms in semidarkness, scaling cliffs of uncertainty, trudging through the valley of the shadow of death. These feats require sheer concentration, as well as utter commitment to Me.
Each of My children is a unique blend of temperament, gifted-ness, and life experiences. Something that is a baby step for you may be a giant step for another person, and vice versa. Only I know the difficulty or ease of each segment of our journey. Beware of trying to impress others by acting as if your grant steps are only baby ones. Do not judge others who hesitate, in trembling fear, before an act that would be easy for you. I each of My children would seek to please Me above all else, fear of others' judgments would vanish, as would attempts to impress others. Focus your attention on the path just ahead of you and on the One who never leaves your side."
I needed to realize that my baby steps are giant steps for others, and my giant steps are baby steps for some. We are each a unique blend. And that's just the way our Adonai likes it.
