Meditation - A Meaningful Hymn

After my prayer, I decided to look into the Great Hymns of the Faith music book to sing to myself for encouragement. As I flipped through the content pages, I came across this hymn by John Peterson - Just One Step at a Time. I don't think I've sang it before.While I sang to myself, albeit out of tune, the lyric is very meaningful to me, considering my life circumstances. I replaced plural in the lyric with the singular 'I' that the hymn became more personal

The future veiled before me lies, the path is hidden from my eyes.
As Jesus leads, while faith He tries, just one step at a time.
Just one step at a time, Just one step at a time,
That's the way He leads to glory, just one step at a time.

The road He takes I need not know, but follow in the steps that glow, and trust in Him as on I go, just one step at a time.
Just one step at a time, Just one step at a time,
That's the way He leads to glory, just one step at a time.

I need not fear what lies ahead, Nor anxious be nor filled with dread; The saints before were safely led, just one step at a time.
Just one step at a time, Just one step at a time,
That's the way He leads to glory, just one step at a time.



May the hymn be true in my life, I pray.

I really don't know what my future holds. After discussing with my mom of a possibility that I may quit my job to do something radically different, perhaps ministry work, I could sense from her voice of some concern for me, like my inability to make home mortgage payments. We'll see.
