…the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.Psalm 18:32-33 (ESV)
God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places. To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments.Habakkuk 3:19 (ESV)
Here is a promise that we can claim from these verses. As children of God, we can be surefooted like a deer because the Lord is always with us. He guides us and keeps us on the right path, He equips us with His Word and gives us strength to navigate the rocky terrains and mountains in our lives. How many times have we wanted to give up in difficult circumstances? We feel like we are slipping but He always helps us to stand firm so that we will not stumble or fall.
Lord Jesus, truly You are our strength! May You always make our ways blameless and make us surefooted as a deer. Thank You, Lord, for keeping us from falling when we are discouraged. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
