Day 19 – First steps

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way” Psalm 31:23

I missed the first steps of my eldest. It was a milestone I was looking forward to. Whilst I was trying my best to coax her into walking from the couch to me, she decided to take her first steps at the playschool. When her “school-mommy” finally told me of her great achievement, she was already walking a week at school and not a single step at home. 

My disappointment was replaced one afternoon when I picked her up from school and she walked towards me with arms in the air.

My prayer is that from the very first step our children take, they are ordered by the Lord and that He delights in each step they take. That where ever they leave their footprints they will be next to those of Jesus and that His presence is evident in their walk.

Prayer: Father, we are unsure of where the walk of this life will take our children. I ask that you will direct their steps so they will be known as a good man or woman of God. I pray that You will be delighted in their walk of obedience and always be a light to their feet. Amen.
