Directed Steps

Have you ever wondered what you should do? I have countless times. Psalm 119:133 says, “Direct my steps by Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me.” Years ago I heard this definition for iniquity: anything that I do independent of the Lord. It caught my attention because I was a very independent person.

It reminds me of Isaiah 53:6 which says, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Our steps will be directed into His righteousness when we walk upright. Psalm 85:13.

Our feet go where our heart dictates. Here is one of Paul’s prayers we can adopt. 2 Thessalonians 3:5 says, “Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.”
