Walking with the Lord July 25, 2015
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.
Psalm 37:23
A small pamphlet I received from a friend was titled An Attempt to Share the Story of 86 Years of Relationship with the Lord. In it, Al Ackenheil noted key people and events in his journey of faith over nearly nine decades. What seemed to be ordinary choices at the timememorizing Bible verses, meeting for prayer with others, telling his neighbors about Jesusbecame turning points that changed the direction of his life. It was fascinating to read how Gods hand guided and encouraged Al.
The psalmist wrote, The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way (Ps. 37:23). The passage continues with a beautiful description of Gods faithful care for everyone who wants to walk with Him. The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide (v. 31).
Each of us could create a record of Gods leading and faithfulness, reflecting on Gods guidancethe people, places, and experiences that are landmarks on our pathway of faith. Every remembrance of the Lords goodness encourages us to keep walking with Him and to thank someone who influenced us for good.
The Lord guides and guards all who walk with Him.
Heavenly Father, Your faithfulness to us is unfailing. Thank You for leading, guiding, and providing so many spiritual encouragers and mentors. Bless those today who have helped us so much.
You are headed in the right direction when you walk with God.
The psalms of David speak so powerfully and realistically to us because they are records of his own experiencehis own trials and hardship. We often like to focus on phrases like the one found in verse 23, The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him (niv). But the reality comes in verse 24: Though he may stumble, he will not fall (niv). We will stumble even when we delight in the Lord, but we will not fall because He upholds us.

Funny thing is, that kitteh looks just like a feral who keeps our apartment complex free of mice.
Whenever Lynn-Dah-the-Dawg and I encounter him on our many walks, we keep a wide berth.
Lynn-Dah doesn’t like him, but I explain that he is just doing a job the Inside-Kittehs won’t do! LOL!
