Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

You're blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You're blessed when you follow His directions, doing your best to find Him. That's right - you don't go off on your own; you walk straight along the road He set. You, God, prescribed the right way to live; now you expect us to live it. Oh, that my steps might be steady, keeping to the course you set; Then I'd never have any regrets in comparing life with your counsel. I thank You for speaking straight from your heart; I learn the pattern of Your righteous ways. I'm going to do what You tell me to do; don't ever walk off and leave me.

Exactly where I am at right now, and this is my prayer, Oh, that my steps might be steady, keeping to the course you set; Then I'd never have any regrets in comparing life with your counsel! The hardest part in our walk with God is walking at a consistent pace. It is when we start to run ahead of God, or just stop dead in our tracks that we find it hard to hear God's voice. That is when we feel the most alone because God is consistent, and He is willing to walk down this path with you. The question is, will you stay on course, will you walk WITH God, and not ahead or behind Him. Maybe the reason He wants to walk WITH us is because He wants to talk to us, He wants to have a relationship with us. It's hard to talk to someone who is running all the time, or someone who keeps tripping over those stupid rocks.

Set your gaze on Him, and He will direct your path. He will give you the endurance it takes to walk a steady walk. One that doesn't get tripped up, or unfocused. We tend to focus on not falling down that we forget speeding up and getting ahead of God is just the same.

You're BLESSED when you stay on course, walking STEADILY on the road revealed by God.
