Promises For God's Guidance - Steps Are Ordered By God (Daily Devotional)

Greetings and thank you for joining us today for our daily devotional. This week, we are talking about God’s promises of guidance in our lives. We are just looking at different promises where God has assured us where He will lead and guide in life’s journey.

Today, we look at Psalm chapter 37, verses 23 and 24, it reads, ‘The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand.’ Just imagine this, the scriptures are telling is that our steps, as we choose to follow God, walk in accordance to His word, be obedient to Him that God is ordering our steps. That verse continues to say that God delights in our way, He takes special interest in the way that we are going. God is not saying, ok you go figure this out, solve your own problems, find your own solutions, God is not like that. He delights in our way, He is interested in the journey we are making, in the decisions we have to make and in the paths we have to choose. He is very interested in it so much so that the bible says that He is ordering our steps. The qualifier is of course, it is the steps of a good man that means we are choosing to be people who will walk in obedience to Him and as we posture ourselves that way, God is ordering our steps, He is directing our steps, in His own way, He is orchestrating things in our lives. The next verse says, even if we fall and make a mistake, sometimes we do, instead of listening to God, we may run after our own choices or do something we are not supposed to be doing, even if we fall, it is not the end of the world, we are not literally cast down, why? Because God upholds us. He is telling us that if you fall, it is not the end of the world, God will put you back on your feet, get you back on track and He will continue ordering your steps. What an assurance, joy and privilege that as we say, God I want to follow you, be obedient to you and do your will and thank you that you uphold me, put my life back together, order my steps and you will get me going on the path that you have for my life. What a wonderful promise!

Let’s pray, Father, we thank you for this promise and privilege where our steps are ordered by the Lord and that you are interested and take delight in our way. Even if we make mistakes, we are grateful to you that it is not the end of the world but you uphold us, you help us with your powerful right hand, you get us back on track and set our feet in the right path and get us back in the journey that you want us to make. We thank you for your mercies, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
