Psalm 37:23, NKJV
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way.
Today's Scripture doesn't say God suggested our steps. No, God is strategic. Before you were formed in your mother's womb, He laid out a specific plan for you. Nothing happens randomly. The good breaks and the times you see favor as well as the closed doors and disappointments are a part of God's plan. If you don't understand that, you'll be frustrated when things don't go your way, upset because somebody does you wrong. In reality, these were ordained by God as setups to move you up to a new level of your destiny.
You are not at the mercy of fate, or luck, or other people. God has ordered your steps. Do you think a jealous coworker, a bad break, or a closed door can stop or change what God has ordered for you? Those negative circumstances and people are pawns in the hand of God. The enemy thinks he's using them to hold you back; the truth is that God is using them to push you forward.
Father, thank You that You never allow anything if it's not going to work for my good. Thank You that You purposefully order my steps in the way that is best for me. I believe that what the enemy thinks is holding me back is what You are using to push me forward. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
