God Guiding Our Steps

 

“Order my steps” is a prayer which should ever be on our lips. We should get our orders from God, not once in our life only, when we first give ourselves to him; not at the opening of each day only, as we go forth to the day's task; not merely at the beginning of each new piece of work or of each fresh task — but every moment, for each step. That is what walking with God means. We may make this so real that we shall look up into God’s face continually, asking, “What next, dear Lord? What shall I do now? Which course shall I take to-day? How shall I do this duty?” If we can but have God's guidance and help for the little short steps, we need not fear for the long miles, the great stretches of road. If each step is of his ordering, the long miles will be paths of his choosing.
