In
the morning, I try to get in a ten minute indoor walk. Do a loop through my
kitchen, living room and front office. During this walking time, I like to pray
but I find that I am easily distracted by the stuff I am seeing on my walls,
tables and counters. I end up thinking about other things rather than having my
conversation with the Lord. So, this morning as I was going through this same
thing, I chided myself for doing it again, going off to thinking about other
things. So, I got myself back on track and was walking with my head down just
looking at the floor in front of me. That’s when God gave me a beautiful light
bulb moment! If we are truly going to focus on the Lord we have to be looking down
at the footsteps He puts before us. It is like when you are out hiking in the
forest, you have to keep your eye on the ground before you otherwise if you are
looking ahead or looking back, you will find yourself tripping over a rock. I
love the visual of the footprints in sand or snow when you are trying to step
exactly in the footprints in front of you, one step at a time. Lord, thank you for
this moment of clarity and giving me a visual to help that sink deep into my
heart. Follow you, you ask and I will follow one step at a time in your
footsteps. Lead the way Lord. Amen.
Isaiah 58:11 The Lord will guide you always.
