“The steps of a [good and righteous] man are directed and established by the LORD, And He delights in his way [and blesses his path]. When he falls, he will not be hurled down, Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand and sustains him.”

Psalms 37:23-24 AMP

I love Psalm 37 because it reminds us where to keep our eyes, on the Lord, and not on other people, especially ungodly people - those who seem to be prospering in everything, but aren’t living for the Lord.

Listen, when we follow Jesus there are going to be times when we will be tempted to jump out of the fire of God’s Word! It hurts and it’s uncomfortable to our flesh (our carnal desires), but don’t lose hope!

The Bible says in Galatians 6:9 not to become weary in well-doing! If it says not to, then there is a real threat of doing it! :) 

How do we avoid growing weary? By allowing God to order our steps. 

As my Pastor says, “We live in a microwave world, but we serve a crockpot God.”

In other words, we tend to want things right now, but God would rather us be properly prepared to receive. Why? 

He wants what is best for us and if we got everything we ever wanted right away without ever having to work for it or attain the character to hold onto it, it wouldn’t be long before it was lost, damaged, stolen, or worse it consumed us! 

Be encouraged, God is for you, not against you! :)

In Christ,
