Little Steps of Faith
Meet Ben, a nine-month-old bundle of energy and determination. This curious baby has just mastered the art of crawling and is eager to explore the world around him. During a recent visit, Ben’s mother, Renée, watched in awe as her little one played happily with blocks for thirty minutes before deciding to venture further. His eyes fixed on the stairway to the second floor, Ben embarked on a courageous journey, pulling and pushing himself up each step with an infectious grin.
God’s Watchful Eye
As Ben navigated the unfamiliar terrain, his mother was always close by, offering encouragement and protection. Similarly, God watches over us with the same tender care, sending His angels to hover over us and guide us through life’s challenges. The Holy Spirit within us instills the determination to persevere, even when the journey gets tough.
Persevering Through Life’s Obstacles
The Bible reminds us to “run in such a way as to get the prize” (1 Corinthians 9:24). When faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles, it’s easy to feel like giving up. But God’s love and care for us are unwavering, just like a mother’s love for her child. He provides wisdom and strength to help us overcome every hurdle.
A Personal God
In a world with billions of people, it’s comforting to know that God’s love is not limited. He cares for each individual, no matter how small or insignificant we may feel. Let us remember to seek His guidance and trust in His goodness, just as Ben trusted his mother to catch him if he fell.
A Heartfelt Prayer
Dear Father, thank You for Your boundless love and care. Help us to remember that we are never alone, and that You are always watching over us. Amen.
