He Has Established Your Steps
Psalm 37:23-24
A man’s steps are established by the LORD, and He takes pleasure in his way. Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed because the LORD holds his hand.
As Christians, we will fail at times. The good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ is that He doesn’t fail! We have been given His righteousness, and God still sees us as His child through the lens of Christ. As His child, He is right there with us, holding our hand when we stumble.
I’m so very relieved to know that I don’t always have to get things right. When I don’t, God is still with me. He has not forsaken me, and He still has a firm grip on me. He has established my steps, and He takes pleasure in my way. Just as I used to enjoy watching my son try to walk, so God enjoys watching me as I take steps toward the direction He has given me. If I fall from being too excited to keep my balance, He picks me up and sets me on my feet once again. Just as I would never have left my son alone, He remains with me to care for me and see me through the mission He has given me. I’m not alone, and neither are you!
God holds your hand today. You may be frustrated or discouraged, but He is still with you. Even if you may feel unstable and insecure, know for certain that He has a firm grip on you, and He will not let you stay down for long if you fall. You are His beloved child, and He has great plans for you! Grab hold of His hand, and trust His presence. He has established your steps, and He delights in you as you walk them.
Have a blessed day!
