Where Do I Start?
It is called, "Putting one foot in front of the other."
Life can be confusing at times. Things can become so muddled that it is not clear what one should do. You don’t want to go back; you’ve been there. And to go forward is not wise, especially when, in your situation, the fog is so thick it can be cut with a knife. What does a baffled Believer do when he or she has no desire to go back, and his or her future is not clear?
You do the next thing! You start from where you’re at. You begin from the starting point, and that launching pad is always where you are presently. As the old adage states, “There is no time like the present.” I've observed those who make it in life are the ones who are continually doing what’s next, even when the next thing is unpleasant and difficult. Think of the advancement in just one year of following this rule.
David tells us, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path.” Here we see the principle we’ve been speaking of. David saw where he was at, and knew, as he did the next thing (light), his path would be enlightened (lamp). This, no doubt, is what the wise man meant when he penned, “But the path of the just [is] as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”
If we begin now, we’ll arrive sooner than if we waited!

Excellent counsel and exactly what I needed to hear today. It’s especially helpful when the tasks ahead seem overwhelming. I’m simply going to do the next thing. Thank you!
