One Step... Then the Next One

One Step... Then the Next One

Feeding the flock... one verse, one chapter, one principle at a time, in more ways than one.

Several years back I took the liberty to illustrate Proverbs 3:5-6 in the kitchen at the Chapel. After we spent time in the sanctuary, singing and celebrating His grace through song, we gathered in the fellowship hall and open the word of God and I prepared a specific dish, by ACKNOWLEDGING a recipe I believe in. I've used the following recipe hundreds of times and I trust it. It works, I know that it does, therefore, I can commit to it and have complete confidence in the preparation, process and product.

I can't always visually illustrate every message but when I can, I do my best to do so. This isn't our first time working through a recipe... a few years back we made it to the kitchen and walked through 2 Peter 1, "adding one ingredient to another" making a big batch of cathead biscuits. The Lord blessed it then, and I believe He honored our obedience this past Sunday, too.

Trust in the Lord... commit to Him and His recipes for life.

Lean not on what you've understand, feel, think, sense, but take His way and run with it. Don't tweak His instructions and wisdom like you would a recipe. Experienced cooks use their skills and experience in the kitchen to adjust most recipes to fit their taste but you can't do that with the ways of God.

Acknowledge Him with every step. Seek Him first, believe what He graciously reveals and follow His steps.

He make His path clear and will direct each new step you take along His path... He shepherds you through.

This is what recommend:

"Commit to the Lord, right now, with all that you are...
