Follow Him and stay in His footprints!
by Dona Hake
Yesterday I shared with you that God desires for us to walk within His footprints that are guided by truth and righteousness. His steps are solid, and as we purpose to walk within those footprints, we will be within the borders of His will for our life. This is where God desires that we live, abide and serve Him. The scripture that I shared with you yesterday was from Psalm 85.
Psalm 85:13 BRG version
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.”
Today I want us to reflect upon the beauty of staying by our Lord’s side clinging to Him and His ways.
I love knowing that as I abide in Him, He is going to continually restore my soul and lead me into His paths where His truth speaks of Him. I love knowing that as I walk closely to Him that my life will speak and echo of His righteousness and His truth.
Psalm 23:3 (VOICE)
“He makes me whole again,
steering me off worn, hard paths
steering me off worn, hard paths
to roads where truth and righteousness echo His name.”
Let us look now at how He lovingly steers us away from worn, hard paths yet how many times do we
return to them. Those worn, hard paths could be habits and patterns in our lives that have ultimately gotten us in trouble. Those worn paths are those that have developed because of doing the same thing over and over again. God is calling us to allow Him to step in and guide us on the paths of His desire for us.
return to them. Those worn, hard paths could be habits and patterns in our lives that have ultimately gotten us in trouble. Those worn paths are those that have developed because of doing the same thing over and over again. God is calling us to allow Him to step in and guide us on the paths of His desire for us.
Maybe you have walked the path of a habitual worrier. Maybe your worn, hard path has been one of constantly walking in fear and anxiety over your future. Regardless of what it is we can make the choice to walk on the path that is guided by His hand. His hand deals only in truth and right things. His path does not make provision for us to walk in our own ability but rather to draw upon His.
Let us look to His way, His paths, and we can live a life that is blessed because when we walk hand in hand with Him, that path echoes His Name! God bless you!
