June 7: The Steps of the Righteous Are Ordered

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.”
— Psalm 37:23 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God cares about each step, not just the big events.
  2. Righteous living aligns us with His direction.
  3. God’s leadership brings delight, not dread.
  4. Our path is a partnership between obedience and grace.
  5. Even small steps are meaningful in God’s plan.

Steps in His Light

You watch every step I take.
Nothing is too small for your care.
You draw the lines of my path.
You whisper truth in each choice.
You walk beside my trembling feet.

I fear the twists and turns ahead.
But you hold the corners and curves.
You see the hills I cannot climb.
You build bridges I cannot see.
You walk the way before I do.

You smile when I follow your voice.
Even when my steps are slow.
You cheer when I stand again.
Even when I stumble first.
You call my journey holy.

The road is not always easy.
Sometimes the stones are sharp.
Sometimes the rain falls hard.
But your hand stays sure and strong.
Your love lights every bend.

I will trust your way today.
I will place my foot in your prints.
I will walk the road of your delight.
Knowing you order my every move.
Knowing you walk each mile with me.
