“YOUR STEPS!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Psalm 37:23 (KJV)
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

Question One: Who is ordering your steps?

Question Two: How are we good?

Are the decisions we make or the places we go or the people we are with or the things we do, just random choices?  Are they guided by the crowd, the desire of the flesh, the desire to please others, or the desire to please Our Savior Jesus Christ and Our Father God, the God of the Universe?

Good overcomes evil every time and when we do all we do as unto the Lord Jesus, when we live to honor and lift Him up no matter what small or large chore or task we are undertaking, we do good!

But who can be good?  It is only those who submit their lives into the Lordship of the Savior of the World, Jesus Christ, can goodness flow from!

Luke 6:45 (KJV)
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

It is the condition of the Heart that determines whether we are able to be and do good when there is evil all around us!   A heart that is right with God through receiving the cleansing of the blood Jesus shed on the Cross, allows Him to live through us and that makes us good and helps us to do good!

Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

The power of Jesus Christ Living through us makes being and doing good easy as we let Him order our steps.  We allow our minds to be transformed by His touch and His word and that allows us to live out the good that Jesus calls us to!

Romans 12:2 (KJV)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Did you notice that it is a transformation of heart and mind by Jesus Christ that makes us good?  Not works, not a list of things to be checked off, but a heart that is in tune with the compassion and love that comes from the one who gave His all for us!

We do not have to strive, worry, fret, we just allow the Holy Spirit to live through us!  We are to be like Jesus to a world searching for something real to guide their footsteps.

I ask you again, “Who is guiding your steps”?  Are you just reacting at every turn to do whatever? 

We must realize that all good things come from the Heavenly Father who loves you more than you can comprehend!

This Daddy God who wants to give us good and help us be and do good can make all things to work for us as we put our Trust in Him and ask Him to lead us in everything we do!

We must understand that our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ desires to be part of everything we do or everywhere we are and every decision we make.

Just as most parents guide their children in the way that is right and best for their growth and maturity, our Heavenly Father does the same!

If you have not received Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, right now, just ask him to come into your heart and guide your life and declare you are giving Him control!

We must all listen to that inner feeling to guide us in all we do!

As we surrender our steps to the one who knows best, we can walk in the truth of Philippians 1:6!

Philippians 1:6 (KJV)
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

_____________________________________________________

Father in Jesus Name I ask that you help each of us understand that the best life is lived letting you live through us and guide each step we take.  May each of us be able to say with confidence: “Our steps are ordered by the Lord!”  Amen
