Today's Verses: Psalm 37:23-24 (NIV)

23 If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; 24 though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

God guides or orders the steps of good men and does not allow them to fall. While we will encounter obstacles, grace will be given to us so that we can overcome whatever obstacles that are put into our way.

Hymn of the Day: ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOR LEADS ME - Fanny J. Crosby, 1820–1915

All the way my Savior leads me; what have I to ask beside?

Can I doubt His tender mercy, who through life has been my Guide?

Heavenly peace, divinest comfort, here by faith in Him to dwell!

For I know whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well.

All the way my Savior leads me, cheers each winding path I tread,

gives me grace for ev’ry trial, feeds me with the living bread.

Though my weary steps may falter, and my soul athirst may be,

gushing from the Rock before me, lo! a spring of joy I see.

All the way my Savior leads me; Oh, the fullness of His love!

Perfect rest to me is promised in my Father’s house above.

When my spirit, clothed immortal, wings its flight to realms of day, t

his my song through endless ages: Jesus led me all the way.

Comments: The bottom line is that God does not give up on His chosen. We stray, He corrects us. We trip and fall, He picks us up. One might picture God who, like the faithful dog, is always patient, waits for us to come home, always ready to be at our side when we need him.

Yesterday, I received an email that I would like to share with you. Listen in and enjoy GoD and DoG. You should then understand what I meant in the previous paragraph.
