His Steps

When things go askew, there’s usually a reason. Although I’ve had some real atta’girl moments in the kitchen, I’ve had more than my share of ... oh-my moments! God has wisely and graciously given us a recipe for living in harmony with Him and with others: "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God." (Micah 6:8, ESV). These are His instructions; when we refuse to do as He says, the results are both unsightly and unsavory. Do you want to know why the world looks so suspiciously and negatively at Believers today? Because the "walk" they see [of us] is similar to what they see of the world at large. What a holy shame when there is nothing distinctively different about the Saints! "For to this you have been called ... leaving you an example, so that you might follow in [Jesus] steps" (1 Peter 2:21, ESV). None of us will walk perfectly before the Lord or the world, BUT in His grace (strength), He can really shine in those atta' girl moments and those around will take notice! Let's be wise - not in our own eyes but wisely follow in ... His steps.
