Sunday
Morning! 😊
You are
loved!
You Are My Steps
“…for we walk by faith, not by sight…” 2 Corinthians 5:7
In our day to
day walk with the Lord, many unrighteous opportunities to wander from the grip
of God’s hand will be present. The days
are dark, and our present “cultural conditions” could hinder our ability to see
our way in righteousness. But the steady
hand of the Lord extends security, comfort, and “shepherding” as our faith
takes steps of love with God.
In our faith,
we must prepare to take the steps that God ordains (Ps. 37:23). Faith is the source of our salvation
(Ephesians 2:8) and our fellowship (1John 1:7) that moves the heart of God
(Mark 11:21-23) so we must consistently feed our faith on the word of God.
Hear the
Spirit of God from King David, “…Make me know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your
paths, lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation;
for You I wait all the day…” (Psalm 25:3-5).
David gets it!
He understands that the word of God and the “paths” of God go
together. God’s “paths” are God’s
“ways” and it is truth that sets our instruction along the way.
Note the
verbs David uses, “make me know”, “teach me”, and lead me”. This is a process of discipline that should
govern all of God’s children. This is
known as progressive sanctification.
In a time when there are so many lies of
darkness in our homes, churches, and for sure the culture, disciplined walking
by truth is paramount. As the Apostle Paul says, “…I discipline my body and
make it my slave…” (1 Cor. 9:27).
Without discipline the paths of God become
blurred and exercising our faith suffers from disobedience. Truly the blessings are already ordained as
we please God by living out our faith before Him and the world (Ephesians 1:3)
and it ultimately brings God glory (Isaiah 49:3).
Walk strong,
Saints, our God leads us, and His paths are clearly seen!
Prayer: Dear Lord our God, in these troubling times
of unrest, thank You that You direct my steps.
Help me to be faithful in my walk with You and forever hold Your
hand.
In Jesus
Name, Amen.
