Faithful in the Next Step

Jonah had a plan. God had a better one. And Jonah spent three days in the belly of a fish learning the difference.

This week, we looked at the real Jonah -- not the children's storybook hero flying out of the fish's fist raised in victory, but a man so committed to his own worldview that he ran to the ends of the earth to avoid God's call. Sound familiar?

Psalm 37:23 reminds us that God establishes the steps of those who delight in Him. The path to peace is not bending the world to your will. It is surrendering your plan and simply taking the next faithful step in His.

Whether you are starting a new school year or walking through loss, the calling is the same -- let God be God, and trust that one faithful step is enough.
