“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5–6).
Many become anxious trying to discover the ultimate purpose of their lives, as if God had hidden a great secret that needs to be deciphered. But the Father never asked us to know the future—only to obey in the present. God’s plan is revealed step by step, as we walk in faithfulness. The one who is faithful in small things will be led, at the right time, to greater things.
The wise servant does not get lost in anxieties about tomorrow. He seeks to live each day according to the magnificent commandments of the Most High, lovingly fulfilling the duty that is before him. When the Father wants to expand his field of action, He Himself will do it—without confusion, without haste, and without error. God’s will for the future begins with today’s obedience.
So, quiet your heart. Each day of faithfulness is a step on the ladder of the divine mission. The one who trusts and obeys can rest, for the God who guides the sun and the stars also directs the steps of those who love Him. Adapted from J. R. Miller. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Beloved Father, I praise You because Your plan is perfect and Your timing is always the best. Teach me to walk calmly and confidently, obeying You today without fearing tomorrow.
Lord, help me to live according to Your magnificent commandments, so that each step I take reveals faith and patience in Your ways.
Oh, dear God, I thank You because You guide my path with wisdom and love. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is the map of my journey. Your commandments are the sure footprints that lead me to Your will. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
