Next Best Step

The other day I walked Stone Mountain's 5 mile lap in the rain instead of running.  That means I carried an umbrella around the entire time. By the I was done, so was the rain.  While carrying the umbrella I noticed I had to tilt it down in front of me which meant I could only see my "best next step" rather than several feet ahead.  Isn't that just like God? I saw the revelation in that sometimes I can get so focused on what I want to accomplish that I miss the joy of my next best step.  I encourage you to experience the joy in your next best step.  Yes, there will be times when you should create a more far reaching plan, however what would happen if you lived in the moment instead of the plans knowing God is in charge? Create a great day for yourself moment by moment.
