I’ll never forget the joy of holding my children’s hands as we walked. I had to slow down to their speed, and I had to help them because sometimes they would slip. They would have fallen if I wasn’t holding their hand. They were happy and confident because they were holding Daddy’s hand, and Daddy was thrilled to be able to walk with them. In the same way, our precious Heavenly Father holds us up in the midst of the many perils that we experience during our journey. Psalm 37: 23,24 says: “The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand”. I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father is walking with me and He upholds me with His hand. Even when I stumble, He doesn’t let me fall. Be reminded today that your Heavenly Father is journeying together with you. Even though you might stumble, He’s got you! His glorious hand is there steadying and upholding you. You are not alone. He will help you to get to the finished line!
Are you sure that you took the right steps?
There are many paths that we can take in life. Most of them will lead us down the wrong path. Psalm 37:31 (CEV) says: “They remember God’s teachings, and they never take a wrong step.” One of the most important reasons to have God’s word hidden in our hearts is that His word is like a “spiritual GPS.” It will guide us daily so that we can take the right steps each and every day. When I am using my GPS to get to a place that I haven’t been to before, sometimes I overshoot my exit. As soon as this happens, my GPS reroutes me to get back on the right path in the quickest manner possible. God’s word hidden in our hearts does the same for us. Sometimes we miss the mark in our actions and decisions, But God’s word speaks to us in our inner man, letting us know that we’ve missed the mark, and reminds us to get back on the right path. Is the Holy Spirit telling you that you’ve missed the mark? Let Him speak to you today in your inner man so that He could guide you back on the right path and help you to take the right steps.
Psalm 37:23 (TPT) “The steps of the God-pursuing ones follow firmly in the footsteps of the Lord, and God delights in every step they take to follow him.”
