“Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over
me.”
(Psalm
119:133)
Someone stood on my front porch today while
I was away from the house. How do I
know? No, the person didn’t leave
information in the door. No, Max the
wonder dog didn’t tell me, though he was pretty excited when I got home. The
reason I know someone was on my front porch today is because he left a trail of
footprints in the snow that left the sidewalk, crossed through the grass, moved
up the steps and onto the front porch.
It was a clear and traceable path.
The identity of the person and purpose for his visit remain unknown, but
the footsteps are evidence of his
presence.
The Psalmist knows the One who guides his
footsteps and finds his direction in the word of God. The pathway is traceable, the destination a
matter of trust. His purpose?
Holiness…let no sin rule over
me. How about your
footsteps?
Prayer: Guide my steps, Lord. Let no sin
rule over me. Amen.
