He will keep the feet of His saints!

He will keep the feet of His saints!

" He will keep the feet of His saints! " 1 Samuel 2:9

This assurance and other similar ones, expressing the preserving grace of the Lord—are designed to withdraw His people from all trust in themselves, and to lead them to confide wholly in Him.

But they are misapplied and perverted, when any take occasion from them to relax in circumspection and vigilance.

The Lord is the Keeper of His people—but all who are kept by Him are preserved in the exercise of faith, of watchfulness, and prayer.

All who walk carelessly and presumptuously, may expect nothing but to stumble to the distress of their soul and the dishonor of their Lord. But all who feel their own inability to walk safely, amid the snares and perils of the way—may rejoice in the assurance that the Lord keeps the feet of His saints.

Christian pilgrim, anxious to avoid bringing reproach on the name of the precious Savior—put your hand by faith in your heavenly Father's hand! He is able to keep you from falling; trust in Him with all your heart—and He will uphold your goings in His paths, and none of your steps shall slide!

Back to Every Day!
