“Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation” (Psalm 25:5).
Many in the churches are unable to help others because, deep down, they are not certain of their own spiritual condition. It is difficult to reach out to someone when your own heart still fears it may be drowning. No one can rescue another if their own feet are not firmly planted on solid ground. Before pulling someone out of turbulent waters, you must be anchored—sure of the way, sure of the truth, sure of the life.
And this firmness is born only when someone surrenders to the wonderful Law of God and His magnificent commandments. Spiritual security does not come from emotions or speeches; it is born from obedience. All faithful servants—prophets, apostles, and disciples—had this conviction because they lived in obedience to what the Father commanded. God only reveals His plans to the obedient, and only these are sent to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. When the soul walks in faithfulness, it knows where it is and where it is going—and then it can help others with authority and peace.
Therefore, set your steps firmly in obedience. When the heart is established in the Law of the Lord, nothing can shake it, and you become a useful instrument in God’s hands. Whoever finds their foundation in God can finally reach out to others with security and purpose. Adapted from D. L. Moody. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Beloved Father, set my feet in Your truth so that I may live without fear or insecurity. Teach me to walk with clarity before You.
My God, help me to faithfully obey Your commandments, so that my life may be stable and my faith unshakable. May I never try to help others without first being established in Your will.
Oh, beloved Lord, I thank You because obedience gives me a solid foundation to live and serve. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is the secure foundation for my steps. Your commandments are the foundation that sustains my faith. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
