Sitting on my bed looking at my feet I realized that I have had the same number of toes my whole life. Ten toes – five on each foot. This came as an amazing revelation. Do you mean that these two feet and these ten toes have been attached to the same two legs and have walked the journey with me for life.
When I have walked on right paths and on wrong paths these toes have been there the whole time. When I have taken huge leaps of faith and when I have tripped and stumbled. These ten toes have seen it all.
Truth is – it is not my toes that determine my direction and walk in life – it is my heart.
The Bible says that a person with a wicked heart is quick to run toward evil whereas a good man walks continually on good paths.
Someone who makes excuses for where they end up in life is like a person who is lost abusing their toes for taking them in the wrong direction.
Hey friend – it isn’t your toes that are tripping you up – it is the desires of your heart. It also isn’t your toes that cause you to go from strength to strength. Ultimately it is the desires of our heart.
Delight yourself in the Lord your God and He will give you good desires with which to fill your heart and mind.
Don’t let your toes be too quick to get into the starting blocks of a new day. Make sure you have awakened your heart to the purposes of God before beginning another daily sprint through life.
