The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
Habakkuk 3:19
Understand today that no matter how hard you try, there is nothing on this earth that you will be able to accomplish without the help and strength of the Lord… It is the Lord who has all power, and ability to do anything but fail. We being His very creation have to rely on His strength and stop trying to handle situations on our own… This is the focus of today’s devotional; there are so many people in this world who are losing out on the divine will of God because they are busy trying to pave their own way… In Christ, the way is already paved and this is why Habakkuk goes on to say he makes my feet like the feet of a deer… If you ever take time to examine a deer, you will soon come to the conclusion that everything that they do is made possible by their hooves or feet… Whether galloping across an open field at 30-35 mph, jumping an 8-foot fence in stride, or clearing a 7-foot fence from a standstill, deer are impressive athletes. A steep embankment leading to a road is just an opportunity to cross the highway in a single bound. Though there's no way to know where the best footing is, they seldom slip or fall under normal conditions. This principle applies to our lives in Christ as well… In Him we are able to do the unthinkable, we can overcome the most daunting of challenges, we can hurdle the biggest of obstacles placed in our way, and even though we may stumble from time to time, in Christ we will never fall or will be utterly cast down…
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
