Take the Next Step
Devotional
Sometimes we want to know the whole plan before we start something.
But God doesn’t always show us everything at once.
After Moses died, God chose Joshua to lead His people. That was a huge job! Joshua probably had a lot of questions about what would happen next.
God didn’t give Joshua every detail. He told him it was time to get ready and go.
Joshua had to trust God and take the next step.
We can do the same thing. You don’t have to know everything God has planned for your life. You don’t have to know what you’ll be when you grow up or have every problem figured out.
You just need to think about what God is asking you to do today.
Maybe your next step is apologizing, helping someone, praying about something, trying again after you failed, or choosing to do the right thing when nobody is watching.
Follow God one step at a time. He already knows where He is leading you.
Bible Verse
“Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them.” — Joshua 1:2
Think About It
What is one good or brave step you can take today to follow God?
Prayer
God, I don’t always know what will happen next, but I know I can trust You. Help me be brave, obey You, and take the next step You put in front of me. Amen.
