Welcome! This is meant to encourage and enrich you in your walk of faith in our LORD Jesus Christ.

Today the focus is Psalm 37:23-24 and it says, “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.”

This passage encourages those who follow after goodness are being led by the LORD. It also shows us that even though the LORD is leading us along the way, that does not mean the journey will be easy, and there will be times when we slip and fall down. There are many things in this world that will make us stumble and fall while we are walking along the path of life towards our eternal destination. It can be a rock of offence from someone else that causes us to stumble. It could be a thorny bush that we pass by we try to avoid yet it still reaches out and scrapes our skin. It also can be a root of bitterness from a tree that has eroded out of the soil that catches our foot and makes us fall down. The LORD is aware of all these things because He went before us down that path, but He also knows where the path is leading us to. So be encouraged (delight in the way) that when you fall down, allow the outstretched arm of mercy and grace lift you back up and keep pressing forward.

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” James 1:2-4

Because the eternal destination a good man is headed towards is heaven. Be joyful and enjoy the journey The Good Shepherd is leading us through.
