It takes about 2,000 steps to walk a mile.
You can design a car in 7 steps, but it takes about 400 to build it.
We can step up to a task, meaning to take responsibility, and we can step aside when we’re in the way.
Vincent Van Gogh, artist, once said, “Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.”
Helen Keller, author and activist, said, “I long to accomplish a great and noble task; but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.”
Every step we take to better ourselves is vital to the next one we take. No one wakes up one morning, and with no preparation, steps on the moon. That first happened in 1969, and it took years of concerted cooperation by hundreds of people and multiple rockets fired into space.
Mark Twain, American author, once quipped, “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”
Here are 2 steps to get you started toward your perfection in Christ.
Step No. 1:
Romans 2:13 says we are to study and follow the precepts set forth in the Word of God.
“For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.”
Step No. 2:
Matthew 12:50 tells us we become one with Christ when we are one with God’s will for our life.
“For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
Your perfection won’t happen overnight. It’s a series of small steps. Reading the Bible and doing what it says is the best way to start.
Your new life in Christ starts with one step toward him.
