The Bible says that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.
That’s a great verse. A powerful promise.
And it’s even more powerful in its context.
Because the verse right after it continues:
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
(Psalm 37:23-24)
I’ve been encouraged many times by reminding myself that God orders my steps. He helps me make wise decisions. He guides me in my choices.
But doesn’t it encourage you even more to know that He even orders your falls?
He doesn’t just help me choose the right path. He redeems me graciously even when I choose the wrong one.
He doesn’t only order my successes. He orders my failures too.
And it all works together for my good, and His glory.
