Psalm 37:23, 24 - Walking With The Lord.

Psalm 37:23, 24 (NIV) The Lord makes firm 
the steps of the one who delights in him; 24 
though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the 
LORD upholds him with his hand. 

INTRODUCTION

The person in whom God delights is one who 
follows God, trusts him, and tries to do his will. 
God watches over and makes firm every step that 
person takes. If you would like to have God direct 
your way, then seek his advice before you step 
out. [Life Application SB]  

COMMENTARY PEARL

Following in Step
   What does it actually take to follow the 
Lord? Is it a state of perfection, scholarly 
knowledge of the Bible, or friendship with God? Moses, 
Abraham, and David were all known as friends of God. 
Were they perfect? Far from it! They messed up in 
various ways and still God called them friends. In 
their surrender to God, he restored them, time and 
time again! 
   Reject the idea that religious perfection 
is what God is after. It is not. He wants us to 
know him, to be close to him, and to trust him. 
He wants to transform our lives with his 
marvelous mercy as we humble ourselves before him and 
choose his ways over our own. He is full of 
loving-kindness, and he does not use our weaknesses against 
us. Let's follow him and what he requires, 
humbling ourselves before him and yielding to his 
Spirit every time we get it wrong. 
   Give up trying to appear perfect and 
simply do your best and love the Lord today. [365
