23 The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; 24 though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

These two verses are David’s continued meditation on God’s delight in the way of the righteous as over the way of the wicked (see the last 2 weeks for more from Psalm 37). These verses remind of us three things:
1) God establishes the steps of those who walk in His way. When we look at the state of the world, it’s so easy to forget that God is ultimately in charge. Charles Spurgeon commented, “All his course of life is graciously ordained, and in lovingkindness, all is fixed, settled, and maintained. No reckless fate, no fickle chance rules us; our every step is the subject of divine decree.” What an amazingly powerful truth that we should recall regularly! Though our steps are established by God, by no means does that lessen our responsibility to commit our way to the Lord and delight in Him; rather, this truth should fuel our walking in His ways.
