Psalm 37:23-24 — Verse of the Day for 11/24/2025

Thoughts on Today’s Verse…

I don’t know about you, but I’ve physically stumbled my way through much of life. I’ve tripped at some of the most embarrassing moments. I’ve stumbled over my own feet, shoelaces, curbs, and just pure air. Even my doctor says I have a problem with gravity!

However, I am confident that, despite my spiritual stumbles, God has not abandoned me. When I think I’m going to plunge into the depths of an emotional abyss, the Father’s love, care, concern, Scriptures, servants, and helpers have kept me from destruction. God’s hand does uphold me. He is there in times of trial. He has been mighty to save. I do believe he delights in my journey. How about you? The question is not whether we will stumble or fall, but whether we look to God in our stumbles, sins, and failures, and then admit our failings as we ask Him to restore us and raise us back to useful service for him and to others. We can trust he will, because “the Lord … upholds” us with his mighty and gracious hand!

My Prayer…

O Father, thank you for your steadying influence in my life. Thank you for lifting me when I have fallen, protecting me when I have been vulnerable, and comforting me when I have been broken. I praise you for your grace, your glory, and your nearness. Through Jesus, I offer you my praise and eternal appreciation as I ask you to continue to uphold me by your mighty and gracious hand. Amen.
