Dear friend, today, let us meditate on a beautiful verse from Psalm 94:18. Here, David declares, “If I say, ‘My foot has slipped,’ Your compassion and loving kindness, O Lord, will hold me up.” What a promise! No wickedness, no difficulty in this world can crush you or cause you to fall beyond hope. Even when it feels like you can no longer stand, the Lord will hold you up. David himself went through so much in his life. He was surrounded by enemies who plotted against him, seeking to destroy him. That's why he cried out in Psalm 38:16, “Don’t let my enemies gloat over me or rejoice at my downfall.” David’s heart cried, “Lord, let nobody put me down.” This was his sincere prayer.

And God was faithful. The Lord will never leave you nor forsake you. That’s why we read in Psalm 18:35, “The Lord has given us the shield of salvation. His right hand supports us. His gentleness will make us great.” Yes, the Lord protects the righteous. And again, in Proverbs 24:16, “Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again.” Why? Because of God’s love, He will hold us up. He will even make our name great, just as He did with Abraham. The Lord said, “I will make you into a great nation. I will bless those who bless you. I will curse those who curse you.” This is how God blesses the righteous with power, protection, and His unshakable love. Oh, how much love God has for you and me. The love of Jesus is so special. Nothing can separate us from the love of God - no sin, no sickness, no force of this world.

You may be struggling. Perhaps you’ve been battling with the same sin for a long time. But remember this, the blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse you from all your sins. Jesus was pierced for your transgressions. He was crushed for your iniquities. By His wounds, you are healed. His right hand will support you. He will never allow you to go down. God’s compassion and loving kindness will hold you up.

PRAYER: 
Dear Lord, even when my foot slips, Your compassion lifts me high. Hold me in Your loving kindness and surround me with Your shield of salvation. When enemies rise and troubles come, be my rock and my defender. Thank You for never leaving me and for always standing by my side. Let Your gentleness shape me and make me righteous. Let Your right hand make me strong. Lord Jesus, wash away my sins with Your precious blood. Heal every physical, emotional, or spiritual wound in my life. I rest in Your loving arms, believing that You will never let me go. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
