Step by Step

Step by step as life goes on

I get to know you better.

You give me wisdom, strength and joy

To follow you forever!

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. “ Romans 8:38-39

The moment you were born, God was with you. He held you in His loving arms and watched over you.

He wakes us up every morning and blesses us with rest at night. He restores our soul and gives us strength for each day.

Though we change throughout the years, God stays the same. He meets us where we are and helps us grow and get better.

As a loving Father, He holds our hand and helps us make the next step. He shows us the way to live, by teaching us patience and gratitude… one day at a time.

We are a part of His beautiful plan and nothing will ever separate us from His presence.

PRAYER:

Our Heavenly Father,

Thank you for watching over us.

Thank you for guiding us and showing us the right way to live.

May we give you glory forever.

May we honor you and give you praise.

We love you,

Amen.

Keep your heart pure, by praying, thinking good thoughts and focusing on God’s mercy and love…

God loves you. He hears your prayers and He is always with you.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
    and renew a right spirit within me.

Psalm 51:10

He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
    who does not lift up his soul to what is false
    and does not swear deceitfully.
He will receive blessing from the Lord
    and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Psalm 24:4-5

Waiting

Author: Cheryl Zelenka

God often asks us to wait. Waiting builds patience in our lives and transforms our character. It also deepens our dependency on God.

Moses is a wonderful example of someone whose character was transformed through the discipline of waiting. After his exile from Egypt, Moses spent 40 years in the desert of Midian. He went from being a prince of Egypt to a shepherd. God fed him lessons in humility and patience. Moses probably felt he was doing nothing worthwhile in life, but God was equipping and training him to be a leader, and that included desert survival skills. At the age of 80, Moses returned to Egypt and delivered Israel through the power and will of God. Then, for forty additional years, Moses endured a desert existence, leading a stiff-necked people God called His own. Continue reading “Waiting”

Will You Speak?

Author: Cheryl Zelenka

Uniquely formed by the hands of God, with special gifts and talents, each one of us has been created to fulfill a specific purpose. Understanding the cost of our redemption, a freely given blood sacrifice, humbles man into submission. Therefore, we yield our will and take up His instead. Obedience, faith, and trust draws one into Christian service, but it is our love for the blessed Redeemer that propels us forward into unknown territory.

The prophet Jeremiah was very young when the Lord called him into service. He was ordained to be a prophet, a mouthpiece for God. Understanding the importance of such a position, he was filled with fear. He felt all of his insufficiencies. But God insisted that he go where he was sent, and speak as he was commanded. God persuaded Jeremiah there was nothing to fear, saying He would be with him to provide any necessary deliverance. Continue reading “Will You Speak?”
