12 Yes, the Lord will give what is good; And our land will yield its increase. 13 Righteousness will go before Him, And shall make His footsteps our pathway.
Dear Ones: His Footsteps your Pathway! As I read these verses I thought of the well-known poem “Footprints in the Sand*.” The last stanza of the poem reads, “The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child. I love you, and I would never, never leave you during your times of trial and suffering. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.” We see how this verse and this poem are connected. If we follow in His footsteps, we shall avoid the snares and traps of the evil one. When evil times try to overwhelm us, He carries us over and through to victory.
Consider these things and keep them in your heart this week. The air is filled with negativity and fear mongers are having a field day. But in truth, you do know the Way. His name is Jesus, our King. Let Him lead as you use His footsteps as your pathway of victory over all the forces of evil aligned against you and yours.
Make His footsteps your pathway, today. Be confident in His ability to carry you through the hard times. Rejoice as His strong arms uphold you and bring you peace in the storms. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
