The next step

I try to remind myself it isn't the last step (or fall) that sets your destiny but the next step. It is where you go from here. Sometimes it is very clear sometimes it isn't. Sometimes it's easy but there are times it isn't. At times the best you can do is just move forward a little or just stand up after you fell. The truth is if you're going the right way or I should say God's way then it is going to be okay. The scriptures talk of the righteous man getting up after falling again and again. It speaks of walking faithfully. Scriptures never speak of quitting, complacency, or even retiring.  Yes, we might retire from a profession but never from life. We are might not be able to do what we did, but we can still do what we can. Be that in our nineties and feeble or in our twenties and beat down by life. We can and need to get up and take the next step.
