Delight In The Lord

Delight In The Lord "The Lord delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall." Psalm 37:23 God tells us in the scripture above that he wants to direct and establish your steps. If He is allowed to do this you will be in the right place at the right time. Without the Word of God you’ll be sliding all over the place, going in different directions, and never getting anywhere. If you want to let God lead and guide you, you need to follow God’s plan for your life. You must live in the Word, read and study your Bible and obey it. This means that whatever you find in it, as you gain God's wisdom, you are to act upon and do what it tells you to do. You are to stand strong and not waver. When you stand strong, when you are willing to fight the good fight of faith, you are giving God something to work with. He is ordering your steps. He’s making a way when there seems to be no way. He’s clearing a path for you, and He is delighting in you. That means He is pleased with your attitude of courage. He is pleased that you are taking a stand for what is right. He is pleased that you are putting Him in first place and relying completely on Him. Remember, God loves your passion for Him. He loves it when you come boldly to His throne of grace. He loves it when you spend time reading your Bible each day, praying and thanking Him for all the blessings He is sending you, and letting Him be part of your daily life. He is honored when you stand and fight the good fight of faith. If you are facing difficulty today and don't know where to turn, ask God to help you, and know that God wants to lift you up and give you His strength. Receive it by faith today. Dig your heels in knowing that He is ordering your steps; and when God is leading you, He’s always leading you in the path of victory! Robert W. Brock My Daily Devotional Volume Six December 5
