Our being led by God is not usually taking leaps but baby steps. We think that to walk with God it should be something new and earth changing everyday. We assume boring and simple tasks can’t be God’s leading. He is in the big and extravagant and exciting because… well, He is God! However, being faithful to do what He has asked you to do, in the season you are in, is just as much following the leading of God as preaching to thousands!

Most often following His leading is not a whole new big event.. usually it is a step the Holy Spirit has been nudging us to do for a while. It might be as simple as going next door to a neighbor’s house with a plate of cookies.. the thought is not new, it has been there a while, we have not acted on it because we did not realize it was from God.

There are times the path may seem uneventful but when we are obedient He always opens doors of opportunity for us we could not have opened for ourselves. He loves to surprise us with “and suddenly!” To be in line for the “and suddenly He opened a door for us” we must first be where He wants us to be standing. We think, “God where are you? When, Lord, when?” He is asking us, “Have you been faithful with the little things I have asked you to do?”

So, enjoy new enthusiasm for old tasks, do them with joy, inspiring all around you to be their best in Him and promotion is on it’s way… you won’t have to look for it because it will find you!
