“The LORD DIRECTS (kûn: to be firmly established) THE STEPS of the godly. He delights in EVERY DETAIL of their lives. THOUGH THEY STUMBLE, THEY WILL NEVER FALL, for the LORD HOLDS THEM BY THE HAND.” (Psalms 37:23-24)
KEEPING US FOCUSED:
- HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS: “TRUST IN THE LORD with ALL your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will SHOW YOU which path to take.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
- HE DELIGHTS IN EVERY DETAIL: “…the LORD YOUR GOD IS LIVING AMONG YOU. He is a mighty savior. He will TAKE DELIGHT IN YOU WITH GLADNESS. With his love, He will CALM all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” (Zephaniah 3:17)
- HE WILL KEEP YOU FROM FALLING: “Now all glory to God, who is able to KEEP YOU FROM FALLING away and will bring you with great joy INTO HIS GLORIOUS PRESENCE without a single fault.” (Jude 1:24)
- HE WILL HOLD YOU: “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I WILL HOLD YOU UP WITH MY VICTORIOUS RIGHT HAND.” (Isaiah 41:10) “Suppose I were to rise with the sun in the east and then cross over to the west where it sinks into the ocean. Your hand would always be there to guide me. YOUR RIGHT HAND WOULD STILL BE HOLDING ME CLOSE.” (Psalms 139:9-10)
“Even though I WALK THROUGH the valley of the shadow of death, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL; For YOU ARE WITH ME; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalms 23:4)
