Focus on the first step!

As I was heading out to lunch today, I decided to take the stairs instead of taking the elevator from the 3^rd floor to the 1^st floor.  When you think about it, it’s much easier to walk down the stairs then to walk up.  My somewhat small choice of taking the stairs vs. the elevator got me to thinking about life.  It’s much easier for us to go down (sin, fall off the wagon, lust, overeat, lie, cheat, gossip, etc.).  It’s the getting up or going up part (repenting, surrendering, aligning with God, exercising, getting enough sleep, eating right, and living healthy lives) is where we tend to struggle.

It may seem like a difficult task when you look at all the stairs (situations, circumstances) that you have to climb in order to get where you’re going.  But what if you just focused on the first step?  Then after the first step, the second step.  Before you know it you’ll be near the top looking back at how far you’ve come. 

Start with step one! 

Be blessed,
