Morning Devotional:
There are times when technology is great, and then there are times when technology is just plain frustrating. Take for instance the time I bought shoes with a built-in fitness tracker. I saw them in the store and thought this was a pretty cool idea, right? The shoes were really comfortable, not too bad of a price either, so I bought them. I took them home, downloaded the accompanying app and I went for a walk. They worked great, too! My first set of steps showed up on the app perfectly.
That is, until I took my shoes off.
Something happened when I went to put on my shoes the next day. I couldn’t get the app to work again and I had to reset the shoes. My previous day’s accomplishment was somewhere in technological oblivion and I had to start over. This was not by any means a motivational kick start for me. I was for a moment defeated, my previous day’s steps simply gone.
I am easily defeated when I don’t know or understand the steps the Lord has ordained for me. I like to know the direction I am supposed to go, the number of steps I am to make and the path I am to travel. That scripture in Psalm 37 where it says the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord? That’s a tough line for me. Do we know every step He has ordained for us all the time? No. Do we have to? No. I can’t map them, I can’t always track them, but I can trust that each step is good because He set my foot there.
