Steps
Psalm 37:23-24
Introduction: Two factors helped direct my sermon thoughts today: Our Business meeting and people moving.
NKJ Psalm 37:23-24 ‘The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the LORD upholds him with His hand’.
NLT Psalm 37:23-24 ‘The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. 24 Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand’.
Question: So, what is that all about? What does that mean? Included? Exclude?
When it comes to our tomorrows and their direction, purpose, and outcome (our Steps (Ways):
What should we do?
Transition: There are a few things David learned and taught about the process:
- Trust & do good.
- Dwell – stay connected!
- Delight – rejoice, celebrate, enjoy.
- Commit – submit, release.
- Trust
- Rest – wait, know, be assured.
- Do Not fret – worry, preoccupied.
- Cease from anger.
Transition: Results / Evidences / Proof / Confidence is that the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord.
- Steps = ways, direction, intentions
- Good man = firme (in Spanish). Righteous.
- Ordered = firm, stable, established
- Delights (For God) ‘delights in every detail’ – NLT
