God is intimately involved in every aspect of your walk of faith. When we yield to His Lordship, every footfall is under His divine direction and protection ...
The term 'ordered' is from a Hebrew verb meaning to guide, direct, or establish. When you were saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, He not only planted your feet on solid ground but carefully outfitted you for the journey.
He brought me out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my footsteps and establishing my path. Psalms 40:2
What seems small and insignificant to us does not escape the Lord's purview. His omniscience is important to our safe pilgrimage. When we encounter the hardships and difficulties associated with living in this fallen world ... it is comforting to know that He sees every situation and guides us through. It is beautifully expressed in the 23rd Psalm ...
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Sure-footedness only happens when our eyes are fixed upon the Lord (not on the path itself ... nor our feet).
