Sometimes life can feel like you are walking up a mountain of gravel. You take a step, and it seems like you slide back two. Progress is slow, treacherous, and exhausting. You are not sure if you will ever reach the top of the mountain.

He keeps you from falling by making sure you are standing on solid ground.

In Psalm 40:2, the psalmist says God has placed his feet on a rock and makes his footsteps firm. God is doing that for you today. While others are sliding backward, or stumbling, God keeps your steps firm and secure. He plants your feet on the path and shows you where you should step. As you seek to follow Christ today, your steps will be directed and confirmed by God.

The second part of this verse is a promise that when you allow God to order your steps, He delights in you. Like a proud father who rejoices in the first steps of his child, God rejoices over you. He takes great joy and delight as you allow Him to order your steps.

Confess it to me.Today the Lord guides my stepsI walk in the way He leads meHe puts me on a solid rockEvery step is be guided and assured by Him In the name of Jesus,Amen

When your path is difficult and uncertain, may God protect your steps .Tomorrow I will return with another promise of God’s Word. I hope you will join me. Until then, it’s Billy Taylor and God’s richest blessings!
