In His Steps of Grace I Will Not Fall - Coloring Page - Devotion

Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

 Devotion: Steps of Grace

Every journey begins with a step. And when those steps are guided by grace, even the rocky paths become holy ground. God doesn’t just point us in the right direction—He walks with us, steadying our stride, whispering truth with every footprint. His path isn’t always easy, but it’s always good.

To stay in His steps is to trust the pace of heaven. It means slowing down when we want to rush, standing still when we want to run, and moving forward when fear says “freeze.” Grace doesn’t push—it invites. It doesn’t demand—it delights. And when we walk in grace, we walk in rhythm with the heart of God.

But oh, how tempting it is to wander. The world offers shortcuts, shiny distractions, and paths paved with pride. Yet every detour away from God’s steps leads to weariness. The farther we stray, the heavier our hearts become. Grace calls us back—not with shame, but with a gentle “Come home.”

Staying in His steps means choosing obedience over impulse, faith over fear, and truth over trend. It’s not about perfection—it’s about direction. Even if we stumble, grace catches us. Even if we pause, grace waits. Even if we forget, grace remembers. His path is patient, and His presence is near.

And here’s the sweetest truth: God doesn’t just order our steps—He delights in them. He celebrates every act of trust, every moment of surrender, every quiet yes. Your walk with Him is not a checklist—it’s a love story. One step at a time, He writes redemption into your journey.

If you’ve never taken that first step with Jesus, today is the perfect day. Salvation is not earned—it’s received. It begins with the ABCs:

• Admit you are a sinner (Romans 3:23)

• Believe Jesus died and rose again for you (Romans 10:9)

• Confess Him as Lord and call on His name (Romans 10:13)

That’s the first step of grace—and it leads to eternal life.

So walk with Him. Stay close. Let grace guide your feet and love light your way. Because every step with Jesus is a step toward home.

💡 Tip of the Day

When you feel pulled in too many directions, pause and whisper: “Lord, lead my next step.” Grace always answers.

📖 Scripture Recommendation

• Proverbs 3:6 – In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

• Isaiah 30:21 – …This is the way, walk ye in it…

• John 10:27 – My sheep hear my voice… and they follow me.

🙏 Matching Prayer

Lord, I want to walk in Your steps—not just today, but always. Help me resist the urge to wander. Let Your grace guide my feet, Your truth steady my heart, and Your love light my path. I admit my need for You, believe in Your saving power, and confess You as Lord. Lead me, step by step, into the life You’ve written for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

My Story is In God's Hands - Folk Song, Devotion, Coloring Page

 Starting Scripture (KJV)

Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

 Devotion: My Story Is in God’s Hands

There’s something sacred about a blank page. It holds possibility, mystery, and the quiet thrill of what could be. And when we say, “My story is in God’s hands,” we’re not handing Him a finished manuscript—we’re offering the pen. We’re saying, “Write what You will God. I trust Your plan.”

God doesn’t write in straight lines. He writes in spirals and seasons. He scribbles grace in the margins and doodles mercy over mistakes. His handwriting is holy, even when it’s hard to read. And the chapters we’d rather skip? He turns them into footnotes of faith.

Sometimes we want to snatch the pen back. We think we know the ending. We try to edit the pain, rewrite the waiting, or delete the detours. But God is the Author who sees the whole arc. He knows that the valley is where the character grows, and the silence is where the soul learns to sing.

Your story isn’t just being written—it’s being held. Held in hands that shaped galaxies, calmed storms, and cradled crosses. Hands that never drop what they love. Hands that turn ashes into beauty and brokenness into blessing. You are not a rough draft. You are a masterpiece in motion.

And here’s the sweetest part: God doesn’t just write your story—He reads it with delight. He lingers over the lines of your laughter, bookmarks your bravery, and rereads your prayers like poetry. You are His favorite narrative, not because you’re perfect, but because you’re His.

So today, let go of the pen. Let Him write. Let Him surprise you. Let Him fill the pages with you never imagined and endings that echo eternity. Your story is not stuck. It’s sacred. And the Author is still writing.

Because when your story is in God’s hands, every chapter—yes, even this one—is part of something glorious.

💡 Tip of the Day

Write a short note to yourself: “This chapter matters.” Tape it to your mirror or tuck it in your Bible. Let it remind you that God is still writing. Walk in His will, put your trust in Him.

📖 Scripture Recommendation

• Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the thoughts that I think toward you…

• Psalm 139:16 – …in thy book all my members were written…

• Romans 8:28 – All things work together for good…

🙏 Matching Prayer

Lord, I place my story in Your hands. Not just the polished pages, but the messy ones too. Write with grace, edit with mercy, and fill every line with Your love. Help me trust the chapters I don’t understand, and rejoice in the ones You’ve already redeemed. May my life be a living letter of Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Poem/Song: When I Rejoice It's Because

Coloring Page and Devotion

When I Rejoice, It’s Because…

When I rejoice, it’s because The morning came again— Sunbeams spread across my floor Like mercy without end.

When I rejoice, it’s because The sparrow found her song, And even in the silence, I knew where I belong.

When I rejoice, it’s because The hurt did not define me, And grace, like gentle rain, Chose once more to remind me.

When I rejoice, it’s because The prayer I whispered low Was heard by One who answers In ways I’ll never know.

When I rejoice, it’s because I am redeemed of God. My tears watered my garden, He sent me a sunbeam.

When I rejoice, it’s because The broken things renew, God lovingly holds and heals, Abundant blessings not few.

When I rejoice, it’s because My heart, though worn, believes. He Strengthens with kindness— And weaves within me peace.

When I rejoice, it’s because I live, I’m loved, I’m saved. I am found, I’m heaven-bound. Gloriously in His ways.

Psalm 119:14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

🌸 Devotion: Rejoicing in His Ways

Rejoicing isn’t just a response—it’s a rhythm. It’s the soul’s way of dancing when the world says “sit still.” And when we rejoice in His ways, we’re not celebrating ease or comfort—we’re celebrating alignment. We’re saying, “Lord, Your path is better than my plan. Your truth is richer than my treasure.”

His ways are not always paved with petals. Sometimes they wind through wilderness, pause in waiting rooms, or echo in empty places. But even there, we rejoice—not because the road is smooth, but because the Guide is faithful. His testimonies are the trail markers that remind us: we’re not lost, we’re led.

To rejoice in His ways is to find delight in discipline, beauty in boundaries, and peace in purpose. It’s realizing that obedience isn’t a burden—it’s a blessing. Like a child who learns to walk by holding a parent’s hand, we find joy not in the steps, but in the One who steadies us.

And oh, how clever His ways are. He hides healing in hardship. He tucks wisdom into waiting. He wraps grace around grief. His ways are layered like honeycomb—sweet, structured, and strong. When we pause to notice, we find ourselves whispering, “This is better than I imagined.”

Rejoicing in His ways means we stop measuring life by outcomes and start measuring it by obedience. It’s not about what we gain—it’s about who we become. And every time we choose His way over our own, we grow a little more into the image of the One who walked it first.

So today, rejoice. Not because everything makes sense, but because His ways are good. Rejoice like a daisy in sunlight, like a sparrow in song, like a heart that knows it’s held. Rejoice because you’re walking with Him—and that, dear soul, is the richest thing of all.

Because when we rejoice in His ways, we’re not just walking—we’re worshiping.

💡 Tip of the Day

When faced with a decision, ask: “Which choice reflects His character?” Rejoicing begins when our steps mirror His heart.

📖 Scripture Recommendation

• Isaiah 55:9 – For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways…

• Proverbs 3:6 – In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

• Psalm 37:23 – The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord…

🙏 Matching Prayer

Lord, teach me to rejoice in Your ways—even when they stretch me, surprise me, or slow me down. Let my heart delight in Your testimonies, and my steps follow Your truth. Fill me with joy that doesn’t depend on circumstance, but on closeness to You. May I walk with wonder, obey with gladness, and trust with peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
