The Rungs of LIfe

This morning I was thinking while I was getting dressed for work. Bob says my thinking can be dangerous. LOL! The Lord has put some things in my heart for the last year. I keep waiting for His direction on what I am to do next to be prepared for His plan. Well so far no great change in direction has occured. As I was praying and thinking this morning, I felt the Lord remind me to just pray for direction for today(not tomorrow or the next just today). Immediately the weight was lifted off my shoulders. You see, if I follow Him today and obey I will be ready for tomorrow and then the next day.

As I was walking back from the barn and feeding my horse this is what occurred to me. God's direction can be like a ladder. When you need to reach something you go one rung (step) at a time. If you go too high you are above what you need to reach your goal and you could fall off trying to reach for it. If you are too low you will not be able to reach it yet so you have to take more steps. If you are on the right rung you can reach the object with no problem. Your goal is there at your fingertips. The goal is to be on the exact rung or step that God has planned for us at the time He has planned for us. As it says in Matthew 6:34, " Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough troubles for today."
