Devotion: One Step in Progress

Sometimes, progress can feel slow and almost invisible. Yet, every journey, no matter how long or challenging, is made up of single steps. Today, reflect on the power of just one step forward. Whether it’s a tiny act of kindness, a moment of patience, or the courage to try again, each step counts toward a greater goal. Remember, even when you can’t see the finish line, moving forward—one step at a time—brings growth and transformation.

“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” — Proverbs 16:9 (ESV)

Prayer: Lord, help me celebrate each step I take, no matter how small. Grant me faith to trust that each act of progress is part of your greater plan for my life. Amen.
