“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighted 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). How awesome is our God in the oversight and direction over the believer. We can trust God to provide for the believer the following, but not limited to: Protection, direction, inspiration, and maturation. King David, the writer of this Psalm, could speak authoritatively concerning trusting and waiting on the Lord. When David fought Goliath, the people saw a well-trained giant, but David saw only a mortal man defying Almighty God. When Saul sought to dissuade David from fighting the giant, listen at David’s response: “And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. (1 Sam. 17:34-35).
Dear ones, just as with David, God watches over and directs every step that the godly takes. As you trust and follow the Lord, know that He has and that He will protect, direct, and inspire, and importantly, He will grow us up. Note 1 Samuel 17:33: “And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”
Be blessed as you walk in Him.
