Leviticus 21-23, Psalm 37
Psalm 37:23-24 (NLT)
“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.”
In Psalm 37:23–24, David writes about the Lord’s guidance and support for those who believe in Him and live righteously. Father-God actively directs the steps of His followers through the Holy Spirit. David tells us that the Lord takes pleasure in the details of His children’s lives. However, David does not deny that believers will stumble or fail at times. Instead, he reminds us that Father-God will support us because we have a personal relationship with Him. The Lord promises to hold our hand, providing encouragement and hope, and to uphold His children through life’s difficulties.
What stood out to me most today is David’s acknowledgment that faith in the Lord does not guarantee an absence of failure or moments of weakness. There are times when I have mistakenly thought that my faith in Father-God and my attentiveness to the Holy Spirit should somehow make me immune to sin or unwanted thoughts. But I know that is not true.
Even though I do not enjoy being the focus of attention, my ego still craves affirmation in subtle ways. When I see others receiving attention, my perspective can shift. In those moments, self-pity can creep in, and I start to believe that something must be wrong with me. But the Holy Spirit reminds me that the Lord loves me and cares for me deeply. Recently, Father-God allowed me to experience a long-held dream of volunteering at a crusade. Even when I stumble, the Lord holds my hand and reminds me that He is directing the steps of my life.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who holds your hand through life’s difficulties—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
