Every Little Step I Take
by Rev. Tanya Cephas
As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter, summer invites us to get out and soak up the sun, breathe deep, and savor the beauty of God's creation. Vacations, cookouts, and outdoor adventures fill our calendars—but so should moments of stillness, gratitude, and spiritual growth. This season let’s choose to walk closely with Jesus, not just figuratively, but in the famous words of Bobby Brown “Every Little Step” we take under these summer skies.
Summer often offers a break from our day-to-day routine—school pauses, work lightens (we hope), and schedules shift. These changes are a perfect opportunity to reconnect with Christ in a deeper way. Whether you're traveling to new places or enjoying the peace of your own backyard, remember that Jesus walks with you. Stop and take a moment to let every sunrise remind you of His mercies made new, and every warm breeze whisper of His peace.
Walking with Jesus doesn’t require a dramatic pilgrimage. It happens in the everyday—here are some simple things to remember as you step outside and soak up the sun:
☀️ Faith in the Everyday
Walking with Jesus doesn’t mean you have to add more to your to-do list. It’s about inviting Him into the everyday moments:
- A morning walk turned prayer time
- Reading a Psalm while the coffee brews
- Thanking Him for the laughter at a family picnic
Jesus walks with us, step by step—through sunrises, storms, and everything in between.
💧 Refresh Your Soul
Summer is perfect for spiritual renewal. Try:
- Reading Scripture outside in the fresh air
- Journaling your prayers under the shade of a tree
- Joining a casual Bible study or devotional group
Let Jesus be your source of rest and living water during these warm, full days.
🌻 Shine His Light
As you spend time with neighbors, friends, and family, remember: you carry the light of Christ. A kind word, a patient response, or a simple act of love can reflect His presence to those around you.
This summer, be intentional in loving others well—and watch how God works through you.
So, here’s your summer invitation:
Step outside. Open your heart. Walk with Jesus.
He’s already there, ready to journey with you through every joyful, restful, and unexpected moment.
