Footsteps

Following in the footprints of the Lord is the only way our footsteps will be sure. If we step off the path of His footprints we could easily lose our way, for all other ground could hold unseen snares.

We might step on ground which is slippery underneath, causing our footing to be unstable. If the ground we choose is too soft or spongy, we might sink into a situation which is difficult to climb out of. Should we encounter gravel our walk could become painful; and rocky ground would cause overwhelming challenge where we could "fall" and get hurt.

The footprints of the Lord hold a good future for us. He is able to lead us through uncharted territory. His footprints do not restrict us but provide safety and leading, direction and understanding, wisdom and covering. In Him our footsteps will always be sure and His peace will be with us.

If we are going to walk a new path we should always seek His footprints first...

"When he has brought his own sheep outside, he walks on before them, and the sheep follow him because they know His voice."
John 10:3 Amplified Bible
