“Teach me more about you, how you work and how you move, so that I can walk onward in your truth until everything within me brings honor to your name.” (Psalm 86:11 TPT)
Have you noticed how cleaning a small nook leads to more cleaning? If you clean your bathroom sink, you are more likely to notice that the toilet, tub, and floors also need a good scrubbing. But if you ignore the mess, you can get accustomed to living that way. Disorder becomes your new normal.
If you are anything like me, you can easily recount all the missteps in each day and forget the rest. This form of self-recrimination can lead to despair. Be honest with yourself. Remind yourself of the good.
Acknowledging wholesome behavior can be motivating. When you take a step in the right direction, record it in some way. If you keep a journal, write down one beneficial thing you did each day.
One step in the right direction usually leads to more along the same path. One step in the wrong direction also leads to more of the same. Thus, it is better to take one step in the right direction or be still. Ask God for guidance. Pay attention to how He moves. Walk forward in truth and honor.
