“You Taught Me How To Walk”

I have been sharing on loving truth and hating anything that is against the Word of God.   The more we embrace truth, and determine ourselves to live by it, we will quickly recognize any deception that would try to deceive us.    I love how the Lord is so interested in every thing that I do.   Over the past week or two He is impressed upon my heart some simple little things that were going to happen before they happened.   They were not bad things, they were simply little things that were going to change my schedule, and it helped me plan my time more efficiently.   I ponder how great it is that He cares about all things that pertain to life and godliness.   This serves to remind me that if He cares about the simple details, how much more He desires to help us, and keep us steadfast when things seem unsure in our life.
 
 
 
Today we will look at how He desires to keep our feet strong, focused and purposed as we walk in the light of His truth. Did you ever have the electricity go down in your home during a storm, and on your
way to the place where you have all your flashlights, candles, etc… you stub your toe because you cannot see two feet in front of you? The truth is that in this world, it is totally dark, and we need the Lord by our side at all times to teach us the way that we not stumble, and get ourselves in unnecessary trouble.
 
 

Psalm 18:36 The Voice
“You taught me how to walk with care
so my feet will not slip.”
 
 

My little Granddaughters love to feed the fish at my pond.  They totally understand that they are NEVER permitted to stand on the rocks around the pond unless I am holding them securely.  Sometimes they may get a little nervous about the rocks being shaky under their feet, but they know and believe that I am holding them firmly, and I would not let them fall.    Even though their feet are shaky, they seem to forget about it because my arms are wrapped securely around them.    
 

As we follow the Lord and walk with Him, there will be days where things seem shaky under our feet. As we trust Him and know that He is teaching us, and firmly securing us, we can rest knowing that our feet will not slip. I am going to leave you with a handful of translations of Psalm 18:36. They all bring a little different perspective of the same truth. God bless you!
