We only can take one step at a time,
Our valleys to cross or mountains to climb.
If we skip steps we may not succeed.
We will not have all the skills that we need.
We learn as we go, our successes to earn.
Taking a “shortcut” should be of concern.
Diligence and patience we should not resist,
For herein is “gold” which we might have missed.
God sets the pace through which we are trained.
As we walk in it, much knowledge is gained.
Wisdom will come and be as a light
To lead us and guide us in ways which are right.
”God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way
perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet:
and setteth me upon my high places.”
II Samuel 22:33-34 KJV
