Continuing to give honor to some spiritual heros in my life this verse comes to my mind. (Ps 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.) When I was a young boy my steps were ordered by my father and mother and they pointed me toward the Lord. I was not sent to church, I was taken to church. I was not a part of church activities, we as a family were. The standards in our home were not set by my parents, they were set by the Bible. To follow the Lord was a part of life, a joy and not a burden in our home. My parents lived the life of a Christian and served Jesus and that then became a part of me. I did not gradually become saved, I did not earn salvation, I was born again the Bible way coming under conviction of sin, looking to Jesus and Jesus alone for salvation, and calling upon Jesus to save me. But I was pointed in that direction following the steps of Godly parents who were sold out for and loved the Lord. I thank Jesus today for ordered steps and continual to try and follow in the footsteps of those who trained me. My parents departed this life many years ago but their footsteps are still there to follow. My prayer is that I am leaving some footsteps to follow.
