“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth 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
Believe it or not, your steps are ordered by God. As a believer in Christ you do not have to walk alone. You have the guidance of the Holy Spirit to help you figure it out along the way. Everything will not be mapped out for you but you can rest assured knowing that you are not on this journey by yourself. It takes complete reliance on God's divine wisdom for your life for you to reap what was promised to you. But first you have to make it up in your mind that you are going to walk by faith and not by your emotions.
Well, you might be thinking - better said than done. How can I follow blindly when everything is going to the left? It’s not easy to come into agreement when you don’t know the next turn but the beauty of the matter is, you don’t need to because God does. Yet, God wants us to follow him wholeheartedly so that we can avoid getting off course. The kind of detours that will set us back because of our lack of faith. However, God knows us best and he factored in every mistake we will make along the way, the moments when we will ignore his signs or the temptations we choose to give into because the shortcut seemed promising when trying to achieve our goals sooner.
With all of that in mind, falling down is expected. You will fall, you will make mistakes, and you will try shortcuts along the way that will lead to nowhere. Don’t be disheartened. God is still with you and he will not cast you away. Apart of the walk is to grow in faith with every step taken, mistakes included.
Although you may feel tired or cast down, you are built to always get up again. God is the one that is keeping you in your time of weakness and distress. His hands are able! There is no greater hands to trust with your life, family, ministry, business or situation.
