Martin Luther King said, “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” It sounds a little like something out of an Indiana Jones movies where the next step will appear after you take the first but that is exactly what faith is. It is calling upon us to be present in the moment. When we see the whole staircase we casually figure we got it. We think we know exactly where the next step is and take for granted that it will be there. Seeing only one step means that we need to be in that one step and take it with hope that there will be another one when we take that one. God is calling us to be present in the moment. God is in the moment and he/she/it wants us there too, as fully there as we can be. I think of it like my drive to work in the morning. I know which roads to take, but what if I had to take one on ramp in order for the freeway to appear? You better believe I would be praying the whole time on that ramp that the freeway would be there at the end of the it. I wouldn’t be thinking about the emails waiting for me when I get into the office or the classes I would be training that day. My eyes would be on the road and my mind would be focused on staying connected to God. Hmm, what if I approached everything in my day that way?
Be of Steps!
on December 7, 2015My prayer for us is to be in the step of our life that we are in this moment at this moment and give to God whatever might come after.
Do you have the courage to be present in the step of your day that you are in right at this moment and leave the rest of the staircase of your day to when it shows up? Share in the comments.
