Make the Step

As you read, remember one of my favorite quotes by Dave Matthews, "To change the world, it starts with one step, however small the first step is hardest of all."

What's ten dollars mean to Bill Gates? He couldn't care less.
What's ten dollars mean to a homeless man? Survival for another week.

What's one step to someone who has walked a couple miles every day of their life? Nothing.
What's one step mean to someone who has been paralyzed all their life? It's life changing.
What about one step to a baby who hasn't taken his first step? It's just the beginning.

Now back to Dave's quote. Do you think the first step to the paralyzed man, or the baby, is the hardest of all? Of course, they haven't taken a step in a long time, if ever before.

Just like the first steps of walking, the first steps of faith are going to be the hardest also. What's that first step?

My good friend that just went off to college, Daniel Lipford, would always say "Take the first step, God will take the other 99."

The first step to faith is letting God in, God will do the rest. Make the choice, make the step.
