When you are praying for your true place, it is well to remember that the full demonstration may not come in one move, but more likely after a series of stages.
Now, If you despise these intermediate steps, and think “this is a little better, but it is not really what I want,” you will keep the demonstration back. Neither should you accept a small improvement as being all that you can hope to get. The scientific attitude is to see the stepping stone as a stepping stone; to bless it, and give thanks for it, and to continue praying for the next step.
For precept must be upon precept…line upon line, here a little, and there a little (Isaiah 28:10).
Very few worthwhile things are accomplished in one fell swoop. This is especially true of spiritual developments and its demonstration in our lives. We begin as spiritual infants and spend our lives growing up metaphysically just as we mature physically.
Just as we must learn to stand before we run, we must also achieve our spiritual growth one development at a time. Each is a blessing, each brings joy and each step brings us closer to the Eden that God created for us.
Let us today bless those steps that brought us thus far, look with anticipation and hope to the next steps and live a life of peace and love in the process. It is the way God planned life in the garden.
