Secure Feet
Psalm 121:1-2 tells us, I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. How hard is it for you to trust in the Lord when your foot begins to slip, when you feel the waters around your neck, when the fires of affliction threaten to consume you?
Christian, be not dismayed! Your God lives and in the end he will stand upon the earth! He is already victorious over all things. All around us the battle seems to press hard but the last chapter is already written. Jesus’ cry from the cross is his cry of victory: It is finished!
Do not despair when the days are hard and the nights are empty. Do not despair when wickedness seems to thrive and evil men to prosper. Instead rejoice that you have received the salvation of your God! You are a pilgrim headed to the home prepared for you by Jesus himself. Remember the words of Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:16-18: So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
