“The
Lord directs the steps of the godly...
Though
they stumble, they will never fall,
for the Lord holds them by the hand.” – Psalm
37: 23 – 24
OUR good intentions do not always have good results. It’s
tough to stay positive and focused in troubled times, when things we value are
going to the dogs. But we must avoid getting desperate, and fall. The psalm
above is an ongoing reminder that though we stumble, we will not crash and
burn, for the Lord watches over His people and supports them with His mighty
hand. He wants us to keep faith when things get tough, and to keep on the path
He set before us so that others can follow. Hebrews 12: 13 tells us to “Mark
out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak, and lame will not
fall but become strong.” The joy of the Lord is our strength, and He
delights in the kind of faith endures even when others want to give up.
