In His Footsteps

As I comtemplate again, during this Lenten season, the events that led Jesus all the way to Calvary I am reminded that every step He took was demonstrative of His unconditional love for me.

Meditating and reflecting on the life and ministry of Jesus helps me to keep a proper focus on my own God-appointed ministry. I find it helpful to have my Officers Covenant side by side with God's Word as I seek the empowerment of God's Holy Spirit on my life to enable me to walk worthily in His footsteps. Lent is a personal time of recommitment to Jesus' cause and a vital reminder that we are called to continue His spiritual ministry.

This recent picture of my nephews, Jesse and Jordan, is my current favourite. Having installed it on the desktop of my PC, it provides me with daily encouragement to walk in my Lord's footsteps and stay focussed on the things that have spiritual and eternal significance.

Psalm 119:133 (NIV)
"Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me."
