Steps

I felt the Spirit say to me today, “You don’t need affirmation from others, you only need to take the steps I have given you.” Maybe someone here needs to hear that too tonight.

Sometimes the vision God has given you is so crazy others can’t see it yet. And sometimes it is a path of obedience for a completely different calling that won’t be visibly seen for some time. Just do it. Do the things He gives you. Don’t look for approval or worldly success measures.

Who else is just pushing on with where they think God has called them?

So many time I have pressed on with something God gave me to do that went nowhere. And then years later, it comes back as an input to something new not even on the radar back then.

There is something freeing about knowing success is not the measure or the prize. It is remaining obedient. It helps to keep pressing on. It allows us to not worry about the outcome. What a gift God has given us to do good work and let Him take it where He chooses. And to KNOW that the end result is in His hands, and is perfect.
