Guarded Steps

This morning I took a long walk before dawn. I had to be careful because of the darkness and because I was walking in unfamiliar territory. I usually sort of shuffle my feet so that it is easy for me to trip over a small obstacle. Today, I guarded my steps and carefully moved forward, reaching my destination without a trip.

I Samuel 2:9 says, “He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, for not by might shall a man prevail.” Faithfully follow Jesus and your steps will be secure. Walk otherwise and you will be walking in darkness where you may stumble and fall.

After 16 years of vocational ministry, God has called me to a simpler ministry. Now I just proclaim His truth simply to those who are open to hear it. God is speaking through His Word and His creation.
