My precious friend, the Lord watches over you. He watches to protect your soul. He watches to guard your ways. He is a Father to you. Today's promise, found in Psalm 1:6, declares, “The Lord watches over the way of the righteous.” He does not merely observe how you walk, how you falter, or how you face difficulties. The Bible assures us that “The Lord orders the steps of the righteous.” He watches over us, instructs us, counsels us, and guides us with His eye, ensuring that we reach the place He has prepared for us. This promise is echoed in Psalm 32:8 and Exodus 23:20.
He also promises, “I will go with you, and I will give you rest.” This blessing is not just for you but extends to your children and your children’s children. Psalm 115:12-14, as you read this passage, you will see that when God calls you, just as He called Israel, when He chooses you to serve Him, just as He chose Aaron, and when you walk in the fear of the Lord as a family, He increases you and your descendants. The steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord. And according to Psalm 112:1-2, because you walk in holiness and reverence before Him, He will make your children mighty in the land. This is God’s promise for you today.
Let me share a testimony with you. Sis. Vasanthi and her husband, Arunachalam, had a son named Sarathkumar. In their entire family, only Sis. Vasanthi knew the Lord. She faithfully enrolled her son in the Jesus Calls Young Partners Plan, and from that moment, God's blessings began to manifest in his life. Though her husband lost his job and they faced financial struggles, God blessed their son. He excelled in his studies and was selected by six different companies during campus placements. He began working for one of them and served there for two years.
Then, the Holy Spirit empowered him to start his own electrical business. Today, he is a businessman who provides jobs to many. Even those who studied alongside him now work for him. He travels internationally for business, and he is married with a son, who, no doubt, is also a Young Partner. The Lord knows the ways of the righteous, watches over them, orders their steps, and increases them and their children to be mighty in the land. May God bless you and your children with this divine increase!
PRAYER:
Loving Heavenly Father, I thank You for watching over me and ordering my steps. You are my guide, my protector, and my ever-present help in times of need. Lord, let my ways be righteous before You, and lead me to the place You have prepared. Bless me, my children, and my children’s children with Your divine favour. Help us to walk in holiness and reverence before You and to keep trusting in Your divine counsel. Increase us, Lord, and make our generations mighty in the land. Let Your presence go before us and give us rest and peace. Surround us with Your love, and uphold us with Your righteous hand. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
