Psalm 37:23: The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
He delights in his way as parents are pleased with the tottering footsteps of their babes. All that concerns a saint is interesting to his Heavenly Father. God loves to view the holy strivings of a soul pressing forward to the skies. In the trials and the joys of the faithful, Jesus has fellowship with them, and delights to be their sympathizing companion. 1
Living the Transformed Life
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
- With each step that I take, I know that He has already gone before me.
- With each step that I take, I know that He will catch me when I fall.
- With each step that I take, I know that He will be delighted in my walk with Him.
To walk with Him, is to walk behind His glory and grace.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for ordering my life under your gracious leadership. Dear Jesus, please teach me to keep my eyes upon you, one step at a time.
