Do the Next Small Thing

We often wait for motivation before beginning. But motivation is unreliable. Some mornings it never gets out of bed.

Education, ministry, the military, and athletics taught me that movement often comes before motivation. Take one step, then another. Momentum grows through action.

Grace does not demand that we fix everything today. It meets us where we are and helps us do the next faithful thing. The goal is not a dramatic comeback. It is a faithful beginning.

TODAY’S STEP: Choose one task you have delayed and work on it for ten minutes.
