Obedience is a step-by-step matter

Since that first step of obedience 45 years ago, God has shown me many more steps of obedience. But each time, He showed me the next step, only after I had taken the step He had already shown me. God's Word is "a lamp to our feet" (Psa.119:105), meaning that it shows us only the next step for our feet and not the whole road in front of us. This is like holding a torch and walking along a dark road. We can see only a little bit of the road at a time – just enough for the next step. To see more of the road ahead, we have to move forward.
If I had not taken that first step of obedience, I might never have seen another step in God's will for my life – and I would have wasted my days on earth, even if I did go to heaven. If God has clearly shown you some step of obedience now, obey Him immediately, lest you miss the will of God for your life.

Even in a crowd?


Even in a crowd
God knows me by my name
He holds me by my hand
No two people are the same
He knew even in my mother's womb
He chose me and called me by name
Jesus thought of me before I did
This is my claim to 'His' fame
My identity is in Him
I glory only in this
That I know my Lord
His divine character and I am His
Even in a crowd I am not alone
Jesus is with me
I am secure
I walk confidently with the trinity
