We are all subject to the scourge of sin. It is embedded in our Adamic nature. However, by God’s love and grace, He made a way for us to be delivered from this sin nature. Psalm 107:20 (EHV) says: “He sent his word and healed them. He rescued them from the pits that trapped them.” As we listen to the news, we can clearly see that there are multitudes of people that are in a pit of some kind. Whether it is addictions, poverty, sickness, disease or something similar, we all need to be delivered from the pit that the enemy has prepared for us. The Psalmist knew what it was to be delivered from a pit: “He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps” (Psalm 40:2). He also revealed to us that God sent His Word and healed us. Jesus is the living word of God! He has also sent us His written word. The enemy might say to you that there is no hope, but God’s word declares that in Christ, we have eternal hope. Hebrews 10:23 says: “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful”. Today, God is still healing and rescuing those who are trapped in a pit! If you are currently in a pit, cry out to God. He will deliver you and set you upon a rock and establish your steps!
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.”
