One Foot in Front of the Other

“Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God,”  

Hebrews 6:1

 

 

Sometimes a sprint and sometimes a crawl!

That could describe spiritual maturity.

It seems to ebb and flow.

We can all identify with mountaintop and valley experiences.

We can also recognize that there are seasons to our walk with God.

So it should come as no surprise that there are times it seems like every step forward is taken with the wind at our back while at other times every step forward we take seems to be followed by two steps back.

Times when it seems the wind is opposing us and not propelling us forward.

When that forward motion slows it is not the time to let discouragement and self-pity win the day.

Let the Holy Spirit bring you through those moments.

Remember God doesn’t expect from us what He will not equip us to do.

But also realize that every day is not a marathon or even a sprint.

Does today find you struggling to believe?

Are you having trouble with the same old issues?

Don’t’ go backwards.

When you fail – and we all do at times – get back up and keep moving forward.

One foot in front of the other!
