The Way of His Steps Psalm 85:13

13Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.



God's mercy is extended every time He chooses not to give us what we deserve. Truth comes from God as well. It is God who establishes truth. God sets the standard to which everything evolves and exists. When we as God's children follow His truth, righteousness and peace follow. Truth David writes comes up from the earth and righteousness comes down from heaven. When we surrender our will to His will, His righteousness overshadows us and our lives are blessed indeed.

God wants to bless us and give us all that He has planned for us, which is good. He wants our lives to be filled to overflowing. He wants us to be blessed and happy and He wants our hearts to be full of joy and peace. God wants to bless our communities and our churches as well as our nation. Mercy comes down from heaven and truth goes up to heaven. When we as a people reach up to God, He is able to reach down to us. God wants to bless America. He wants to set us "in His way."

We have to be willing to stand for the truth of God's Word. We do not have to force others to accept that truth, but it is time for us as individuals to stand for the truth as found in the Word of God so the righteousness of God will come down upon us and our land will once again yield her increase.

The desire of God's heart is that we surrender our lives to His will and allow Him to do for us, as He so much wants to do. If we will just allow Him to bless us, He will do so exceedingly abundantly more than we could ever ask or hope for! He will set us in the way of His steps. There is no better place that we can be in at any given time in our lives, than in the steps that He has set for us. When we are in those steps, we will experience the abundant blessings of God. Life cannot get any better than that.
