"The steps of a man are established by the LORD, And He delights in his way. When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand."
I find it very interesting that throughout my life different parts of this chapter have become very real and applicable. I have been thinking about future plans lately. I know many of you have experienced the stress and confusion these thoughts bring. Thankfully, God has the tendency to "knock on my door" and reminded me of his incredible glory and the fact that He alone has established my steps. He has it all set in order, he knows what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen. He looks at me and says, "My child, what are you worrying about. Don't you trust me? Stop doubting/ troubling yourself with plans too great for you, and believe".
It is amazing how important God's timing is. Time and time again I am reminded through powerful testimonies and through scripture how God provides for you by sending everything from matchbox cars to full-ride scholarships. We know that God truly does cause all things to work together for good to those who love God, and are called according to His purposes. Sometimes trusting Him is the hardest step in that equation. Not only does He establish all my steps, but when I fall (because we all know that each and every one of us will and does fall) I won't go crashing to the ground in a huge heap. God is holding my hand! The creator of the universe. The One being that all of creation glorifies. HE HOLDS MY HAND! How wonderful is that. I may fall, but the misery will only be enough for a lesson I am not going to be cast to the ground or tossed aside. Yahweh is holding my hand and because of this I don't need to fear falling, or failure. This may happen, but "my God's got my back" and He has my steps all mapped out. It is so freeing to know that I do not need to worry about the future, because God knows the plans He has for me and He will make me prosper. All praise and glory to my Savior.
