“The steps of a man are established by the Lord, And He delights in his way.When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.” (Psalm 37:23-24, NASB)
“I like these verses because they give us three exciting assurances as we go through each day with the Lord. First, God directs us in the best way … You may not understand all that He has planned, but everything is in His hands …
Second, God delights in us as we obey Him …
Third, God delivers us when we stumble … Stay close to Him, for He guides and guards your path.
God promises to guide you through life, and He gives assurances that you may depend on daily. Be encouraged that your life is not left up to chance.”
(from Prayer, Praise & Promises by Warren W. Wiersbe, page 98)

Today I am joining … Scripture & a Snapshot .
Those 3 D’s are the only way we survive!
Those assurance really are helpful and encouraging! I love the reminder that God is always directing me and holding my hand, so that even if I stumble or misstep (which I often do!) he’s got me. It reminds me of the way we soothe our little ones when they’ve had a scare or injury – we hold them close and murmur, “It’s okay. Mommy (or Daddy) is here. I’ve got you.”
