UPHOLD MY STEPS

DAILY GRACE
THURS. 31ST MARCH, 2016
TOPIC: UPHOLD MY STEPS
TEXT: PSALM 17: 5

Welcome to a new day, today by His grace your footsteps shall not slip into sorrow in the name of Jesus Christ.

Beloved, what notable petition to observe and apply daily from the Psalmist. His petition is that he might experience the good work of God in him, as an evidence of and qualification for the good will of God of all grace towards him, this is grace and peace from God the Father.
 He prayed for the work of God’s grace in him, “Hold up my going in thy paths. Lord, I have by your grace kept myself from the paths of the destroyer (Abaddon), and  by the same grace let me be kept in your paths, let me not only be restrained from doing that which is evil, but quickened to abound always in that which is good.
Let my goings be held in thy paths, that I may not turn back from them nor turn aside out of them. Let them be held up in your paths, that I may not stumble and fall into paths of sin, that I may not trifle and neglect my duty. Lord, as you have kept me hitherto, so keep me still.

Friends, note that those who are going in God’s paths through grace, have need to pray, and do pray, that their goings may be held up in those paths, for we stand no longer than he is pleased to hold us, we go no further than He is pleased to lead us, bear us up, and carry us. David had been kept in the way of his duty hitherto, and yet he does not think that this would be his security for the future, and therefore he prays, “Lord, still hold me up.”
Those that would proceed and persevere in the way and will of God must, by faith and prayer, fetch in daily fresh supplies of grace and strength from Him. David was sensible that his way was slippery, that he himself was weak, and not so well fixed and furnished as he should be. That there were those who watched for his halting and would improve the least slip against him, and therefore he prayed that prayer, and I hope you will also pray now and make this your prayer daily.

Personal Confession: Father, uphold me that my foot slips not, that I may never say nor do anything that looks either dishonest or distrustful of you, your providence and promise for me in Jesus name.

Read, Reflect, and Rebroadcast to bless someone. God bless you.
