Step by Step

I know, Lord,
that a man’s way of life is not his own;
no one who walks determines his own steps.
Discipline me, Lord, but with justice—
not in Your anger,
or You will reduce me to nothing.
(Jeremiah 10:23-24 Holman Christian Standard Bible®©)

If you knew all the details about your future, you would likely be more focused on the plan than on Jesus. If you were convinced that every failure was capable of disqualifying you in your relationship with Yahweh, you would likely be distracted by fear.

Perhaps He keeps us engaged with Him and close to Him by leading us step by step.
