ONE STEP FORWARD TWO STEPS BACK

Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Psalm 119:133

I don’t know if you have ever broken a leg or not but I have. When I was four, I was swinging on the front door of our mobile home and I slipped off of the handle. I came crushing down on the ground breaking my right leg. It took several weeks but finally the doctor cut the cast off. After a few days taking a step forward and two steps back, I finally got my legs working in rhythm again! Instead of backing up, I was on my way in the right direction!

Sometimes along this journey we get off track and life begins to take one step forward and two steps back. Satan tempts us with some sin that catches our eye and we fail under the temptation. It is only when we confess and repent that we will begin moving forward once again! When we let Him order our steps, following Him in faith, He will guide us all the way Home!

Doubting Hinders God's Work!

Every step toward Christ kills a doubt.  Every thought, word, and deed for Him carries you away from discouragement. –Culyer

And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. Mark 9:24

So often our doubt in the abilities of The Saviour keeps the best from us! Doubting He can save. Doubting He can provide. Doubting He can prevent. Doubting He can forgive. The father doubted but when His Doubt turned into faith... Jesus did a work!
