Imagine a sheep lying on all fours, completely still. You can try pushing, poking, rolling it over, or even picking it up putting it on your shoulders, but it takes a lot of effort to get that sheep up and moving. Now, picture a sheep that’s already walking. A gentle nudge to the right or left is all it takes to guide it in the direction you want it to go.
In much the same way, when you're seeking direction for your life, it helps to take a baby step forward rather than waiting passively. Movement allows for guidance, one small nudge at a time, leading you toward the best path. This approach doesn’t require a grand or miraculous revelation—just a willingness to stand up and start moving.
For example, if you’re seeking clarity about finding a life partner, consider this:
staying home, praying, and hoping your future spouse will miraculously find you might not be the most effective approach. Instead, venture out into the world. Meet new people, explore new experiences, or join a community group. By moving and taking action, you create opportunities for guidance—an open door, a chance meeting, or an unexpected connection that directs you toward the right person.This principle applies to other aspects of life as well. Whether you’re making career decisions, pursuing creative endeavors, or discovering your purpose, taking small steps opens the way for guidance. When you're moving, it’s easier to adjust course as needed, one gentle nudge at a time.
So, don’t be afraid to take that first step, even if it feels small. Trust that you’ll hear the voice behind you whispering, “This is the way; walk in it.”
“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” – Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)
