“One’s aim, a point beyond faith, should be to find the footsteps of Truth, the way to health and holiness.” (S&H 241:23)

In S&H p.115:26, Mrs. Eddy lists the moral (transitional) qualities where evil beliefs are disappearing, and faith is followed by meekness in that list. I realized this morning that meekness is the point beyond faith that is required of me. This is the only way I can “find the footsteps of Truth” –– to humbly ask, and follow, God’s guidance every moment. Even though a fellow-member (and Mrs. Eddy) has said often that humility and meekness are vital for spiritual progress, this was a needed awakening for me this morning. A long time ago, someone told me to take “one day at a time, and if I couldn’t do that, then to take one hour at a time, and if I couldn’t do that, then take one minute at a time.” I am now going to work on taking that one footstep at a time, one moment at a time, in turning to God.
“O Master, let me walk with thee in lowly path of service free;…” (Hymn 234)
