A Chinese proverb says, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This same idea holds true in our relationship with God. The tasks He gives us to do, whether they seem great or small, requires us to take the first step. When God speaks, we need to act on His word.
God had called Jacob to go to Egypt, and Jacob had responded. Jacob’s first response was the spoken words, “Here am I.” Then his next action was to rise up and follow God’s instructions.
Planning is good. And, of course, prayer should be an essential part of anything we undertake. But there are times when God simply needs us to get up and take the first step. Has God’s spirit been prompting you to do something you have put off for another day?
Will you accept the challenge and respond to His call?
Father, help me to act on Your words without delay.
