STEP BY STEP

 STEP BY STEP

 

Around the Year with Emmet Fox

 

June 18

 

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 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
