How do we get to the top of a mountain? How can we get out of the mess we are in? How can we get to our destiny? How can we get closer to God? How can we ever get the victory? Step By Step!

As I look back over the years, I realize that my greatest accomplishments came step by step instead of leap by leap. The greatest peace came from walking day by day with the Lord. The greatest amount of stress came from wanting things too fast. Someone once said you could eat an elephant if you ate it one bite at a time. Just think of what you can accomplish of your God-given dream if you walk with him day by day. Every day you just get one step closer. One day you will arrive, at peace, at rest and in total victory!

Is there a mountain of adversity in front of you? Is there a sin that you can not seem to overcome? Is there a relationship that just seems impossible? Just take it step by step. Don’t focus on the problem, but rather on the Lord.

A baby doesn’t focus on the fact that he might fall down with the next step, but rather, he focuses on his mother or father. He trusts as they gently coax him to take a step and then another. Gradually, he takes more steps at a time until he is walking. That is how it is with Jesus. We don’t have to get in a hurry, just walk a little each day.

If we are to accomplish anything with the Lord, we need to let Him become the focal point of our lives. He knows best. Only He can see the end from the beginning. Only He knows the purposes He created us to fulfill. We are special to Him. We were created to accomplish great works in Him. We are the apple of His eye. The day He died on Calvary, He saw our faces and He knew it was not in vain.

He is the reason we are. If you don’t know Him, read the Bible and/or some of my other posts. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. Write to us and let us know how you are doing. Share your life with others and encourage them. Let others read the pages of your book as you write them each day. Smile, laugh and enjoy each day no matter what your circumstances. Remember, there is a victory up ahead regardless of where you are today. Our enemy would like us to think otherwise, but in Christ, we have the victory. The ultimate victory is being with the Lord eternally. One of the greatest joys in life is showing others the way by the life that we live. What greater testimony is there? Live your life! Step by Step!

I just want to share a short testimony with you. I have been working on a book for 16 years now. In two weeks it will be in print and available to purchase. Check our DestinyPathOfLife.com web site for more details. It is a dream come true. Don’t ever give up on your dreams. In due season and at the right time, they will come to fruition.
