Take a Step!

by Tonja Taylor  
3/12/2023 / Christian Living


Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.--Isaiah 43:19, AMPC

It's a New Season! It's time for the new!

It's time for you and me to take a step and partner with the LORD to do something different, to help this world know Christ Jesus--our soon coming King!

The LORD is always faithful and good, and endlessly creative. He knows all things--and He's always got your back.

"A new step" means something different to you than to most people. 

It could be simply choosing to spend more time talking to the LORD, in prayer. You can talk to Him anytime, any where, about anything, once you have asked forgiveness of your sins and asked Christ Jesus to come into your heart as your Savior and LORD. Then He is with you always, as the Holy Spirit. He knows your every thought and word. He sees every moment of your life, and has a wonderful Ephesians 2:10 Plan that He wants to reveal to you and help you to fulfill. 

For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].--Ephesians 2:10, AMPC

It could be signing up for that class you've wanted to take for a long time; to learn a new skill, or simply to be creative. God is reaching many people with the creative arts in these Last Days!

It could be becoming more disciplined in exercise, healthy eating, speaking more graciously, or work productivity.

It could be volunteering to help a worthy cause.

It could be giving more than before to a ministry the LORD is showing you to invest into.

It could be choosing to overcome and forgive love and purposely speak to someone who has really hurt you, even though their behavior may not change.

It could be finishing that degree you started.

It could be changing jobs.

It could be changing churches.

It could be choosing to leave an abusive situation that has not changed, no matter how much you've prayed, forgiven, shown grace, etc. 

All of these things, especially the more serious ones, are to be discussed with the LORD, and based on the Word of God (not "voices" nor even prophesies nor "angelic appearances". If these things do not align with the Word of God, they are not from your Father Who is perfect and all-knowing and loves you, no matter how good they seem!) 

The LORD leads us in right paths--always in peace within our hearts, although our actions may not cause peace in others. 

The LORD tells us to love and forgive, and live at peace---but we can only do our part. However, the LORD will help us to stay in peace, by keeping our minds on Him; His faithfulness and love toward us, which is perfect and unchanging, no matter how others act. Hallelujah!

If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.--Romans 12:18, AMPC

As we draw closer to the LORD, and come to know more of His exquisite, astounding, eternal Love for us (I John 4:8), others will see the positive changes in our lives; our increased peace and joy, and some, at least, will want to know Him. 

(Even Jesus, when He was on earth ministering for three years, did not win every soul to the Kingdom! We can do nothing apart from Him. Any time anything good happens for us and through us, it is Him alone Who makes it happen! However, we have the honor, freedom, and privilege to partner with Him--the Most High God!--to get His word done! Wow!

Dear Father, in this New Season, help us take the step(s) we need to, to draw closer to You, and to help the world know Christ!
