Today's Devotion: Psalm 37:23 (New International Version) - If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm;
Here David talks about the fate of the wicked and points out that although the righteous may stumble, the Lord will uphold them.
Today's Comments: In previous blogs, I mentioned the word apostasy, relative to the Episcopal Church. Obliviously, one who, like me, holds a relatively orthodox view of Christianity, would conclude that the Lord does not delight in the apostate. The Old Testament is full of stories of apostasy. Yet, even the Jewish Nation, which disobeyed the Lord constantly, although it was punished numerous times, was upheld by the Lord until the very end. We should consider the fact that even our errant brothers in the Episcopal Church will be upheld at the end, and we should pray for them.

The Savior demands complete loyalty, the type of loyalty that is so strong, so unswerving, that every other attachment becomes subject to it.
