Psalm 94:18–19
When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your love, O LORD, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
The psalmist here says, “My foot is slipping.” He was in a position where he was no longer in control. He couldn’t save himself, but he says with great gratitude, “Your love, O LORD, supported me.” How often that’s true. When we come to the place where our foot is slipping, then God reaches out in His great love and mercy and He supports us and saves us.
Are you facing a situation that seems bigger than a mountain? God is faithful. He is with you every step of the way. When your feet slip on the slopes of life, He holds you up with His unfailing love. Safe within His loving grip you can have the confidence to keep going down the path of life.
THE WORD FOR TODAY
Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you?
Does this mean nothing to you?
Can’t you see that His kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? Romans 2:4
Can you imagine if God dealt with us according to our behavior? Who would stand a chance? But the Bible tells us that He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. We are the very object of His grace and mercy. Does this mean anything to you? Paul asks in the above verse, “How could anyone know the mercy and grace of God and not be motivated to live for God? Isn’t His kindness intended to turn you from your sin?”
It is His grace, His kindness, His tolerance and patience that should motivate us to turn from our sin and follow Him. Today, take time to consider how kind and patient God has been towards you.
