Wednesday's Word: Steps of the Righteous

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. Psalm 37:23, 24

Let's look at another angle:

The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand. (NLT)

And another version for good measure:
The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand. (ESV)

Today, I want you to remember that the Lord is ordering your steps! You can take joy in your journey. You can delight in what comes across your paths. God is joyfully tending to every detail  of your life. That means the smallest of your worries has already been handled by the Lord.

Rest easy. No matter what comes your way - God is holding you up! Nothing can defeat you! Don't stay down! Rely on the Lord's upholding power! Your footsteps forward are established - sure, firm - through the Lord's power.

Stop standing still! Move forward! Every step you take with the Lord cannot falter or fail. Take some ordered steps today and watch where the Lord takes you.
