[Discoveries] 07-22-07 A few steps at a time

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*So [Elijah] did what the Lord told him. -- 1 Kings 17:5*/

Did you ever watch ants? The ants around here have a distinctive way of 
walking. (I don't know if this is true worldwide -- maybe our readers on 
other continents can let me know.) But, around here, ants take a few 
steps and then they stop.

I pointed this out to my children. I explained to them, "This is how you 
live the Christian life. God gives you direction, you follow it as far 
as you can, and then you get more direction. And He usually only gives 
you a few steps at a time."

As I said a few days ago, I'm deeply impressed with Elijah. Yet the bulk 
of his life was a very simple partnership with God. God came up with a 
great idea, Elijah did it, and, when he was finished, God had another 
great idea waiting for him.

God's ideas for you are custom designed for you and for the times in 
which you live. Yes, they are all based on God's unchangeable character 
revealed in His word, but they find fresh expression every day in your 
life and mine.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
