Are you on a mission to make a difference in your life? Do you know changes need to be made, but struggle with where to begin? Every mission starts with a single step in the right direction — a step that sets the tone for the rest of the journey.
Each morning, we can take that step toward the objectives that will bring lasting transformation. The resources are abundant: the Bible, devotionals, step studies, and the encouragement of others who walk with Christ.
A few years ago, I set out on my mission to know Christ more deeply — to become not just a believer, but a follower. It hasn’t always been smooth. Sometimes I’ve taken the wrong step, caught up in what seemed right in the moment but led me off course. When that happens, it’s not the end. By God’s grace, we can adjust, course-correct, and get back on track.
The closer we walk with Christ, the more clearly we recognize truth from deception. He helps us discern what leads to life and what distracts us. We can lean on Scripture, prayer, and wise brothers and sisters in Christ who speak truth into our lives. Often, God will confirm His guidance through repeated messages — a verse, a conversation, a teaching that shines light on our path.
Setbacks will come. That’s the nature of the journey. But if we stay Christ-focused, He will lead us forward. Each faithful step brings us closer to experiencing a piece of heaven here on earth.
Scripture for Today
“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” – Psalm 119:105 (NLT)
Prayer
Lord, thank You for calling me on this mission with You. Give me courage to take the right step each day, to listen for Your voice, and to trust that You are leading me closer to the life You desire for me. Help me lean on others who love You and remain focused on Christ in every decision. Amen.
