Step By Step?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who acknowledge you establish a person’s steps. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Cultures can place a high value on independent thinking. This can be taken to an extreme when people think they are in total control of their own destiny.
It is God who has something to say about a man’s steps. Two verses reinforce God’s say in the matter:
The first is Proverbs 16:9 (ESV):
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”
The second is Psalm 37:23-24 (ESV):
“The steps of a man are established by the Lord,
when he delights in his way;
though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,
for the Lord upholds his hand.”
Are you about to chart the future? Acknowledging God is in control. Look to him for guidance.
