1 Peter 2:21 “For to this you have been called, because CHRIST also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in HIS steps.”
Increasing…IN HIS Steps!
Winning with JESUS; LOSING with satan. Yet the steps of the flesh fit closest with darkness.
Only with GOD’s discernment can we stay on course and grow into HIS footprints. Amen and amen!
So I’ll carry and cling to my own rugged cross in the ways of the LORD WHO bore HIS up to Calvary…
(Matthew 16:24 “Then JESUS told HIS disciples, “If anyone would come after ME, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow ME.”)
…and carried it all the way HOME to redeem us — our hearts and steps thus expanding — now free!
As one of HIServants also meant to grow within HIS footprints and lead others to do the same,

Devotional: Colossians 3:16 “Let the WORD of CHRIST dwell in you richly, (Deeply, fully, extensively)
…teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to GOD.”
I’ve often repeated this phrase GOD gave me many years ago.
“It’s the depth of HIS footprints which restrain me from slipping!”
Simply said then, “We’re not to just walk in HIS steps but to GROW within them in Faith to stand strongest!”
We’re to read with Zeal, study with Intent, persevere through trials and GROW in Grace and in the knowledge of GOD.
2 Peter 3:18 “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. To HIM be glory both now and forever!”
“Expand” then each day in those sovereign footprints found everywhere in HIS WORD! Amen?
Amen!
