WORD OF HOPE FOR TODAY by Bro. Rolly Custodio
Always be Ready
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.”
Ps 37:23 NKJV
Today’s
Insight
The Psalmist writes, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the
Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast
down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand” (vv. 23-24 NKJV). Observe:
(1) God delights in the fact that you’re willing to step out in
faith and try. (2) He doesn’t guarantee that you won’t stumble, but that
ultimately He won’t let you fail.
(3) When you feel like you can’t go on, He will uphold and
strengthen you. What more could you ask for?
Now, God never changes, but life does. So you must be ready to
adapt to unforeseen circumstances. Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart, is
credited with having been a visionary leader. His dream was to provide value to
customers in order to improve their lives. But he was notorious for changing
plans and abandoning strategies that didn’t work. Sam’s son Jim Walton
admitted, “We all sniggered at some writers who viewed Dad as a grand
strategist who intuitively developed complex plans and implemented them with
precision. Dad thrived on change, and no decision was ever sacred.” What good
is a well-planned strategy if it doesn’t yield good results?
To quote Winston Churchill: “However beautiful the strategy, you
should occasionally look at the results.” God is more committed to the vision
He’s given you than you are. But when He leads you in a new direction, you must
be ready to follow Him. Like Israel in the wilderness, when the guiding cloud
moved they had to move with it. The same goes for you. So, be Always Ready.
