Psalm 37:23-24 (NKJV) 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
To know that God will still uphold us with His hand when we make mistakes brings great comfort. He is a forgiving God, our salvation!
This does not, however, mean that we should continue to make wrong choices on purpose, knowing that He will forgive and help us get out of our bind.
If we know what we are about to do is wrong and we do it anyway, that is plain old rebellion, not a mistake.
That is being hard-hearted, stubborn and unwilling to change. That is taking a chance. And eventually, if we do this enough, it will destroy our relationship with God.
Philippians 2:12 (NKJV) 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling…
Obedience is what pleases our Father. We should always be moving and pushing ourselves to do the right thing in any given situation.
He is watching our hearts, where our actions will come from.
This is where the steps of a good man or woman come from. And though we may fall at times, it won’t be on purpose, but a sincere mistake.
Usually when this happens, it’s because of our weakness in a specific area. This is where God will help us if we go to Him humbly and ask.
He will bring changes to help us become stronger in that area.
God will uphold us as we sincerely obey Him. He is our strength!
Exodus 15:2 (NKJV) 2 The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
