I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me. Proverbs 8:17 NLT

Step Out\n

On July 16, 1969, at 13:32 EDT, a three-man crew soared with wings of eagles past the Earth\u2019s atmosphere to the moon. Prophetically, the lunar module was named Eagle.\n

When I think of what those guys went through to break through the Earth\u2019s gravity, it blows my mind! With the computer technology of a modern wristwatch, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins did what most thought impossible. They orbited, then landed on the moon.\n

The mission commander, Armstrong, said, \u201cHouston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.\u201d With those eight words, a new era of space exploration had begun. In the Bible, eight means \u201cnew beginnings.\u201d\n

A few minutes later, Armstrong said some other prophetic words, \u201cOne small step for man. One giant leap for mankind,\u201d as he left an American flag and some footprints to mark his territory. Man\u2019s accomplishments were on display! Note the name \u201cArm-strong,\u201d and I think you get the picture.\n

Though it was a wonder that men were able to accomplish such a feat, there was a man who had done so much greater. You see, 2,000 years ago, this man left his footprints in the dust of planet Earth. Instead of leaving the earth to go to the heavens, He left Heaven to come to Earth. His impact upon this world is felt today across the globe as millions follow in His footsteps.\n

As man vowed to return to the moon, Jesus vowed to come back to earth. His original goal was accomplished and His vow to return will be fulfilled sooner than you and I think! Are you prepared?\n

We cannot step in the footprints of Armstrong, but we can certainly follow the footsteps of Jesus. He has laid out the path of redemption, and it leads to a big mansion where rooms for you and I await, where we will be part of the family. All we need to do is step where He steps!\n

It\u2019s time to take a step of faith. God has put a dream in your heart. Take the first step toward that dream.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Step Out

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

When I follow Jesus and take the steps He sets before me, my life is fulfilled, and I accomplish more than I can do on my own. Today, I will listen for God’s prompting to take the next step in a new direction. His footsteps lead to wonder-filled adventures and Kingdom accomplishments.
