What Does It Mean to Have “Ordered Footsteps?”
This question was asked of me recently, “If I plan my own future, isn’t that planning with my own will? If God is ordering my footsteps, shouldn’t I wait for HIM to tell me what to do?” The beauty of such a question is the humble heart in which this question was asked. This person Read More
