Leviticus 9 & 10, Mark 11: 27-33, Psalm 37: 21-31
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.”
Verses 23 and 24 from Psalm 37 tell us that a person of
faith has his life planned by God, and God is happy with his follower. Just
because God has a plan for our life and we follow it, it doesn’t mean that our
life will be without trouble and failure. God does not promise his followers a
life that is trouble free, because our sinful nature will inevitably lead us to
sometimes fail and fall. But since God is always holding our hand, we will
never fall headlong into failure. God will always be there to comfort, guide,
and council us through our troubles. My life has never been trouble free, but since
God has always been with me, my falls and failures have not in hindsight been as
bad as they should have probably been. I can honestly say I’ve lead a charmed
life because God has turned every fall and failure into times of profound
insights and lessons, and jumping off points to develop a closer relationship with
him.
