“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.”
In Psalm 37:23— the psalmist says that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.
How does a person become “good?” It isn’t because of what we own, cars house or otherwise. It isn’t about how much money is in the bank, or the degrees behind their name. We don’t become good “on our own.” We need God to do this. We are given the opportunity to observe, follow and accept Jesus Christ in our lives. We in turn as we seek Him, we transition to a “new” person overall. We are inherently wiser in our choices, and our actions. The wisdom grows and it is from the LORD that we get that wisdom.
Isaiah 64:6 states, “Our own goodness or our own righteousness is nothing but a filthy rag before the LORD.”
We need him and His righteousness to acquire goodness and only through Him can we accomplish such a goal.
In order to have our steps ordered by the LORD. There are many facets to achieving this blessed transformation. We must endeavor to be open to Him and His word. And the following three key components are essential to having your steps ordered. Be confident and trust in the LORD to direct guide and lead us, fully and unconditionally.
Psalm 119:133 says, “Order my steps in thy word, and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.”
Psalm 37:23 says, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delighteth in his way.”
When we allow the Lord to order our steps, there will be peace.
When we allow the Lord to order our steps, there will be joy.
When we allow the Lord to order our steps, there will be power.
When we allow the Lord to order our steps, there will be victory.
Of course, it is understood to those of faith, that having our steps ordered by the LORD, doesn’t necessarily mean that everything will be a rose garden, or running smoothly at all times. While the LORD orders our steps, there will be adversities, there will be pain, sad times, heartbreaks, disappointments, and some failures. Just like an engine, we will have misfires and running on low during certain periods of our lives.
However, through the rain and sunshine, those of faith undeniably know that all things are going to work together for the good to them that love the LORD, and we are called according to His purpose. Just know and believe that no matter whatever we may face in this life, if we allow the Lord to order our steps, we will have the victory through Christ!!! Amen!
“LORD, thank You for being there in good and bad times, for being my Rock and Sanctuary, I fully entrust You to lead, guide, direct all of my paths, as promised in Your word, and I know through it all, you will ultimately bring me through whatever it is I am facing, and I will be victorious in Christ, and I thank You for this day, and all the days of my life, in Jesus name, Amen.”
