OUR PERSONAL PROMISES

1 Samuel 2:9

“He will guard the feet of His saints,

But the wicked shall be silent in darkness.

For by strength no man shall prevail.”

Joshua 1:9

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Ephesians 6:10

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.”

2 Samuel 22:31

“As for God, His way is perfect:

The word of Jehovah is tried;

He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.”

Ps 37:5-6

“ Commit your way to the LORD,

Trust also in Him,

And He shall bring it to pass.

He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,

And your justice as the noonday.”

This month we will read choices from  Charles Spurgeon’s (known affectionately as the “prince of preachers”)  devotional, “Beside Still Waters.”    It’s no secret that this world system is getting more evil by the day.  We have to stand strong in the Lord and look to Him more than ever to get through, and to be guided through, what is in the future……..known and allowed  by Him alone…..as well as whatever personal things we are experiencing in our lives.

PASTOR SPURGEON:

The way is slippery and our feet are feeble, but the Lord will guard our steps.  If we give ourselves by obedient faith to be His holy ones, He will Himself be our Guardian.  Not only will He give His angels charge to keep us (Pos 91:11), but He Himself will preserve our way.

He will guard our feet from falling, that we do not stain our clothes, wound our souls, or cause the enemy to blaspheme.

He will guard our feet from wandering that we do not go into paths of error, ways of folly, or courses of the world’s customs (Ps 32:8)

He will guard our feet from swelling due to weariness, blistering, or the roughness and length of the way (Deuteronomy 8:4).

He will guard our feet from being cut, and our shoes will be iron and bronze (Deuteronomy 33:25).  Even if we step on swords or on deadly serpents, we will not bleed or be poisoned (Mark 16:18)

He will also pluck our feet out of the net (Ps 25:15).  We will not be entangled by the deceit of our malicious and crafty foes.

With such a promise as this, let us run without weariness and walk without fear.  He who guards our feet will do it effectively.
