Just one step at a time

I came across a lovely story that reminded me not to get caught up in trying to solve all my problems at the same time. Even though I may want God to give me the final answers NOW, often God takes me one step at a time towards the final destination. It is what some people refer to as 'Gradualness.' Perhaps it is because I couldn't handle the whole story now, that God allows me to take one step at a time. May you be blessed as you read through this story:



"One day Dwight Morrow and his wife, the parents of Anne Lindbergh, were in Rugby, England.  After wandering through the streets they realised that they had lost their way.  At this moment an incident occurred that entered into Morrow's philosophy and became a guiding principle in his life. He stopped a little Rugby lad of about 12 years. "Could you tell us the way to the station?" he asked. "Well," the boy answered, "You turn to the right there by the grocer's shop and then take the second street to the left. That will bring you to a place where four streets meet. And then, sir, you had better enquire again."  
"This answer came to symbolise for Dwight Morrow his own method of approaching complicated problems," writes Harold Nicolson in his excellent biography. "It implied in the first place a realistic scepticism regarding the capacity of human intelligence. It was in the second place an object lesson in the inevitability of gradualness. And in the third place, it was a parable of how, when the ultimate end is uncertain, one should endeavour to advance, if only a little way, in the correct, rather than the incorrect direction."- Bits and Pieces, December 1991
