Stacking Stones Devotional

Day 8: Stepping into Newness

God’s always moving forward. Isaiah 43:18-19 (ESV) says, “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth…” Clinging to the past blocks His work in us. I’ve held onto old habits—screen time, excuses—but letting go opened doors, like pursuing that 5K. What “former things” weigh you down? Faith reveals His fresh path—new chances to reflect Christ.

It’s scary, this letting go—familiar feels safe. But God’s newness is alive—rivers in deserts, ways in wilderness. I’ve resisted, fearing the unknown, only to find joy when I stepped out. My old step goal? Dropped it—new focus, new wins. Are you ready to see it? Trust Him—He’s already at work, springing forth life where you see dust. I’ve seen folks cling to yesterday, missing today’s miracles—don’t be them.

God’s not done with you; He’s starting something fresh. What’s your old thing? Release it—embrace His now. It’s not loss; it’s gain. How will faith guide you? Step into His newness—He’s waiting with open arms.

Questions:

  1. What “former things” are you holding onto?
  2. How can faith help you see God’s new path?

Beyond the professional arena, Todd’s personal life is a testament to dedication and enduring love.  Married to his wife, Deb, for an impressive 40 years, they have navigated life’s journey together.  Their family has grown to include three married children, each on their unique paths, and six delightful grandchildren who bring joy and laughter to their lives. Todd authored and published his first book, “The Power of One.  One Word Leadership”, in 2022.   His newest project is the “The Pursuit”, and it starts with new writings on a new page on this website.  Todd delves into the essence of your daily pursuit of excellence, offering insights on growth, resilience, and the power of redemption.  By weaving daily Scripture insights into our exploration, we bridge the timeless with the contemporary, inviting you to reflect on leadership principles grounded in spiritual wisdom.
