The thing that shows the man is his willingness to accept responsibility for himself and his actions. Only a tinhorn blames what he is on his folks or the times or something else besides himself.”
–Louis L’Amour (Tucker)
“O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.”
–Jeremiah 10:23(NKJV)
————————–
Sure have been busy the past few days. Well, let me put it this way, I’ve sure been doing some traveling. We went to the ICCAN (International Cowboy Church Alliance Network) Spring Roundup in Dawson Springs, KY. It was an interesting experience. I met some good folks and the services were good.
Then I heard that some good friends had sorrow brought into their home. Both the husband and wife had their father die in the same week. We headed to the funeral that we could attend over in San Antonio.
I also received a message that there is anti-Christ movement trying to get the cross down from the court house and stop the different Christian displays. There is a meeting at the courthouse today, and if I’m feeling up to it I may attend.
Now with all of that being said, I was trying to think of something to write. Something that might encourage a poor soul who is down in the dumps. I was looking through some material that I have collected over the years (oh, you can only imagine how much this ol’ boy has collected) and I came across this song we would sing from time-to-time in my home church when I was growing up.
“I’m following Jesus one step at a time,
I live for the moment in His love divine.
Why think of tomorrow, just live for today,
I’m following Jesus each step of the way.
The pathway is narrow but He leads me on,
I walk in His shadow, my fears are all gone.
My spirit grows stronger, each moment, each day,
For Jesus is leading each step of the way.”
–Redd Harper
Listen folks, just walk each step of each day in His Word. Dedicate each minute to Him, and you’ll be surprised at the out-come. Whether you’re walking on a wide path in a lush meadow, or find yourself walking a narrow trail along the side of a cliff trying to get to your destination, take each step of the way with Jesus.
