“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.” — Psalm 37:23

 Joy isn’t only found at the finish line. It grows along the way, in the steps, the pauses, the prayers, the lessons, and even the detours. God doesn’t rush us through life. He walks with us. He shapes us gently, moment by moment, teaching us to trust Him in the unfolding. Some days the journey feels slow. Some days it feels uphill. But joy rises when we remember that every step has purpose, and every mile has meaning. Joy is knowing God is guiding you. Joy is knowing you’re not wandering. Joy is knowing that even when you can’t see the full map, the One who loves you does. He delights in your way, not just your destination.

Father God, thank You for walking with me through every part of this journey. Help me find joy in the steps I take today, even the small ones. Teach me to trust Your timing, Your leading, and Your love. Let Your joy fill my heart and overflow to everyone I meet along the way. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
