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.
