Have you ever walked on a balance beam?
It is the craziest thing but if you look at your feet or the beam (something you think you should do), you lose your balance and fall. However, if you look ahead in the direction you are going it is as simple as walking down the sidewalk. I think that our Christian walk is much the same. When we look at our circumstances and focus on what step to take next we end up stressing out over the little details of our day to day life, and struggle just to get to the next day. But when we look ahead and focus on God and the plans that He has for us, the challenges we face fall away and the little things (Like where next to put your foot) disappear.
2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Keeping your eyes on Jesus and walking in the Spirit makes life as simple as walking down the sidewalk.
2 Corinthians 5:7 for we walk by faith, not by sight—
And when we place our trust in the author of all things, it is He that writes the novel that is our life… we are just along for the ride.
Proverbs 16:9 The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.
