Do the Next Best Thing
Taking the next step in faith can feel difficult when life is filled with uncertainty and unanswered questions.
What do you do when you don’t know what comes next?
This spring, I found myself in that place.
In this episode of Rooted + Rested, I share a personal story from a difficult season marked by loss, disappointment, physical injury, and uncertainty. At one point, I honestly wasn’t sure I wanted to keep going. But in the middle of it all, I sensed the Lord speaking five simple words to my heart:
Do the next best thing.
Join me as we explore what faith looks like when we don’t have all the answers and why God often gives us enough light for the next step instead of the entire journey.
In This Episode
- Facing disappointment and uncertainty
- When you’re tempted to quit
- Learning to trust God without having all the answers
- Why obedience often comes before clarity
- Taking the next faithful step
- Finding hope in the middle of unanswered questions
Key Takeaway
Faith doesn’t always mean knowing how the story ends. Sometimes faith is simply taking the next faithful step with the information God has given you today.
Scripture
“Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.”
— Psalm 119:105
Reflection Questions
- Is there an area of your life where you’re waiting for certainty before moving forward?
- What might be the next faithful step God is asking you to take?
- Are you focusing more on what you don’t know than on what God has already shown you?
