Ordered, Even When Unsteady
Scripture
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10
Devotional
An ordered life is not a life without stumbles. You may make a choice you later question, face a setback, or feel unsteady on a new path. The psalm does not promise that you will never fall. It promises that you will not be utterly cast down because the Lord upholds you. That is good news for a season full of adjustment. You do not need perfect balance to be held by God. Take the next step with humility, and when you stumble, receive His hand. His delight is not reserved for a flawless performance. He delights in a life turned toward Him, learning to walk again and again in grace.
Reflection
Where have I been afraid to move because I might not do it perfectly?
Prayer
Lord, order my steps and uphold me when I feel unsteady. Teach me to walk forward without fear of imperfection. Amen.
One Small Step Today
Take one imperfect step you have delayed. If you stumble, practice receiving God's help instead of condemning yourself.
