Watch Your Step

 At some time or another, we have all seen the warning signs. Have we always listened to the warning signs? Probably not always! We thought we were being careful after seeing the "Watch Your Step" or "Caution" signs. Sometimes, we may have even ignored them because we were in a rush or failed to take notice of the signs. Then, the unthinkable happens. We almost miss our step, or we do miss our step and fall. It hurts when you fall or even if you skip a step because you've lost your footing. Not only can I relate to a misstep or fall physically ( you may can relate, too!), but I can relate spiritually also. In my life, I haven't always stepped in the right direction. I haven't always been careful with what I did and who I spent time with. I haven't always make the right choice about my words and attitudes. I'm thankful for growth! I know you have grown also and I'm grateful for you 😊. You see, the path we travel on is important 🙏. It's important that we stay on God's path. His path will not lead us astray. I'm so grateful for that 💖! In Proverbs 4:26, it says, "Carefully consider the path for your feet, and all your ways will be established." Verse 27 of the same chapter says, "Don't turn to the right or to the left; keep your feet away from evil." We have to be careful what we step up to. We have to be careful of people, places, and things we allow in our space. Stepping into drama is not a good direction to step to. Stepping to pride or complaining is the wrong step to take. Stepping to anything that will not help us is wrong. We have to be careful where we're going. If God isn't it, we should not go that way. Knowing the Word will help us carefully consider decisions🙏. Having the right circle will help us carefully consider decisions. Being observant will help us carefully consider our decisions. Let's watch our step physically (no one likes to get injured!), but also let's watch where we step in life. We should always be striving to move forward, no matter how small our steps are 💖. Forward is forward! However, let's watch what we're moving to. Every step needs to be intentional and pleasing to God. Galatians 5:25 says, "If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit." We won't go wrong if we keep in step with the Spirit. Let's stay in step with all the fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23. Those will keep us on the right path. So, let's be careful, watch our step daily, and keep stepping in God's direction . May God continue to bless you!
