Big Shoes to Fill....

I was watching the Lion King yesterday and there is a scene in the movie, where Simba gets in trouble for wondering off to an area his father had instructed him not to go.  There he gotten into a bit of trouble, which almost cost him his life.  Walking back, his father pulled him aside and had a talk with him, and in doing so this moment came in the picture where he was following in his fathers foot steps and his paw print was inside that of his Daddy.  Often times as we try to follow in our Father's (God) foots steps, it can seem overwhelming and a challenge too great for us to handle.  We tend to think that Jesus left us with big shoes to fill and we are not up for the task, so usually we chalk it up by saying, "I am only human." Well know this, that no matter how great the path is that the Lord has chosen for your  life, if you choose to stick with his plan, just like the foot print of Mufasa covered Simba's, the Lord's Loving Kindness, Grace, and Mercy will cover you.  The Bible says in Matthew 6:34 to give no thought for tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself.  This is a poor translation, because what the writer was actually saying is that you have no need to concern yourself with the things of tomorrow, because tomorrow will cover itself, meaning God has already cared for you enough to give consideration for tomorrow and has set aside covering just specific for that day.  In other words, each day you choose to follow after the Father, in his footsteps, the Lord God will cover you in your well doing, the Bible says in Isaiah 45:2, I will go before you and make the crooked places straight. and in Psalm 37, the steps of a righteous (right standing) man are order.  God has set the path for your life and has order your steps, all you have to do is follow behind him and walk in his footprint for your life and His Loving Kindness, Grace, and Mercy will follow you!
