Why is it important for all of us to take one step at a time? Our creator God did so if we are to emulate him then we should do the same thing. Book of Proverbs – Proverbs For The Modern Day – One Step At A Time. Check out my website
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. – Genesis 1:1-27. Book of Proverbs – Proverbs For The Modern Day- One Step At A Time.
Now for those of you that are not new to Christ going over how the earth was created may have been boring but remember there are new people coming to Christ every day that have never heard the word of God or ever read a bible so this is for them.

Let me provide you with some things that go one step at a time:
1 – A baby. Many babies take their first steps between the age of 9 months and 12 months. Babies just like all of us must take one step at a time. They must learn to walk before they can run.
2- A ladder. When we open a ladder to use it, we go up one step at a time. For all of you WWE fans which is almost everybody, you know about the ladder matches. They are excited to see when a wrestler has knocked all the other ones down and starts to climb the ladder to reach the championship belt and be declared the winner. For those of you who don’t follow wrestling you also know you can only climb one step at a time.
3- A recipe. When we decide to prepare some food that we have never fixed before we look up the dish and find a recipe. We purchase all the ingredients that we will need and follow the instructions carefully one step at a time. For example, for the holidays you have decided to make Gingerbread Cookies. That’s great but you need to follow the recipe. The most important thing you must do is chill the dough for at least 3 hours. If you just wrap it and then roll it out after a while and try to start making the shapes without chilling it, you will have a disaster. You want your cookie dough firm, so the cookies hold their shape. You won’t have that unless you have chilled cookie dough.
4- A Christmas Tree. If you decorate a Christmas tree for the holidays you know it is a step by step process. First, you purchase the tree. Then spread out the branches. Then you must place it in a tree stand. You also need a tree skirt. Then you start to add the festive decorations you have purchased. One by one you add the lights, tinsel, bulbs, ornaments, ribbons, etc.
These are all examples of taking things one step at a time. Don’t try and rush life because it goes quickly on its own. If God showed the utmost patience by creating the world one step at a time why can’t we? Check out my website
