“It’s ‘not by bread alone’ we live, but by ‘every word that comes from God’s mouth’ (Deuteronomy 8:3). Not every paragraph or every sentence, but every word. Not every month or even every day, but every moment. God’s word is ‘a lamp to our feet and a light to our path’ (Psalm 119:105), not to the road ahead. He doesn’t give us the plan and send us on our way. He walks beside us, and says, ‘Put this foot here…now put that foot there.’” ~Healing River (from the upcoming novel)
Amén, beautiful 🎁
Yes! 😊
Amen
These are excellent thoughts, Mitch with a perfect picture to illustrate. God’s GPS only works one step at a time—He doesn’t plot out the whole trip for us.

“Turn here. Stop there. Slow down. Take this road, yes, this road.” All the directions I heard from God as I traveled to and from my grandson’s middle school each day for drop-off and pick-up during September.
I had been anxious about Bay Area rush hour traffic, but God had it all in hand. Now, we are facing a new direction for health care in the Bay Area, and I feel confident that God will again sit beside me in the car, giving me turn-by-turn directions. I am very thankful.

Thank you! Yes.
Every word, every moment, amen!

Step by step. It’s the walk of faith.
Exactly, Bob.
Amen 🙌
I keep reminding myself that he is beside me, guiding me. That way I don’t run ahead wildly.
Good plan, Joanne!
Compelling excerpt! 🙂
Thank you, Nancy.
good reminder, thank you
My privilege, Luna.
YEP!
This is true and when Jesus returns all will know how wonderful Gods’ Word is. Jesus said He is the Word.
In the morning I say a pray thanking the Lord for another day and before bed I say the Lord’s Prayer mind you in Latvian. My religious upbringing was in both English and Latvian.

Amen Mitch! I really needed to read this post today!
🧡
Amen! I love the Word! Thanks for sharing.
My privilege.
Amen! And very timely for me. Thanks, brother!
My pleasure, Anne!
Some steps need reinforcements because they appear shady in stability. I hope there are still numerous amounts of kids that still play outside and read books, it’s good soul stuff. May your endeavors be pleasures.
Likewise, Lyra.
