Job 23:11  ¹¹ My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside.

We all remember hard winters when we were children. The snow piled up high around the house. Our dads would go outside and make a path for us to follow. We would put our feet into the footsteps he created for us. We knew that we would be safe as long as we followed in his footsteps.

Whenever we take on something new it is helpful to follow the path made by someone who has experience. We are able to follow their lead and avoid the pitfalls they made because they have carved out the best path for us. We need only walk in their footsteps to experience success.

Jesus walks before us along the path of faith. He has experienced everything we will experience. He has made a path for us. We need only to follow in his footsteps. As long as we stay on the path he has laid out for us we will be safe. Trust in him and follow in his steps.

Lord, help us to follow your steps and to walk in your ways. Amen.
