I realized God only directs moving targets. Sitting and trying to decide what to do doesn’t work. I have to be trying things, throwing out what doesn’t work and keeping what does.
When I do that, God is right beside me telling me, “No, this is the way, walk here.”3 He directs me when I stray off His path. When I’m listening for His still, small voice, I will never go wrong and if I do, I get right back on the path He has for me.
Yes, the evil one will try to convince me I need to do nothing again, but it’s difficult for him to do when I’m moving forward. Forward motion dispels fear every time. Forward motion delights God to no end. Forward motion is the only way God can direct us on this path.
What is one step you can take today to move you forward?
