The first step when you can’t see the whole staircase

Morning: Psalms 26, 28; Genesis 9:1-17; Hebrews 5:7-14
Evening: Psalms 36, 39; John 3:16-21

Yesterday was Martin Luther King Day. He once said: "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Faith is not principles or propositions. You don’t ‘have’ faith. Faith is an attitude towards life. Faith trusts that Love will ultimately rule in every heart. I cannot ‘see the whole staircase’ to that day, but I believe with my heart, as MLK did, that only Love – sometimes costly Love – can drive out hate and bring justice to the earth. Perhaps Faith is taking a first step in Love without waiting for someone else to go first?
