Psalm 37:23-24 The Lord directs 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.
If ever you’ve walked through a field where cows have been you’ll know you have to watch where you’re stepping very carefully, if you know what I mean! In life we also need to look where we’re going and whose footsteps we’re following.😊
The thought suddenly occurred to me that if we’re following Jesus you and I must be actually walking in footsteps of victory, peace and joy, steps that lead us out of any darkness, sickness, disease, or distress and into His victory because He is the ultimate Victor.
Psalm 23:3 …He leads me along right paths, bringing honour to His name. In effect He’s saying if we’ll follow Him, He’ll lead us along the right paths to enable us to overcome our problems in order to take us into His victory and success and bring God glory.
Jesus can’t lead us in paths of defeat or disease because He overcame them at the Cross. He only knows victory and following His footsteps leads us into resurrection life as well, because He is the Resurrection and the Life. So whatever is struggling to survive or has already died in our lives, whether it’s our health, finances, our hopes and dreams or anything else, we can look up to Him knowing He is leading us up and out into a place of resurrection in all those things if we’ll follow His leading.
Maybe, like me, when things have been very difficult, there have been some days when we’ve followed the wrong voice and felt defeated and been so discouraged. It’s on those days we need to allow Jesus to lovingly pull us back up and start seeing ourselves walking in His footsteps again because the good news is it’s Jesus we’re following and He will only lead us in paths of victory and resurrection life and never into defeat. Hallelujah!😊
Thank You Lord.
