Good morning,
This devotional, by Charles Spurgeon, is a timely reminder that God upholds us. Without God’s help, we would fall.
Divine upholding!
(Charles Spurgeon, “Treasury of David“)
“You uphold me in my integrity.” Psalm 41:12
Our integrity and virtue are the result of the divine upholding. We would fall, and blunder and spoil all–if left to ourselves. The Lord should be praised every day, if we are preserved from gross sin. When others sin–they show us what we would do, but for preserving grace.
“He fell today–and I may fall tomorrow!” was the exclamation of a holy man, whenever he saw another falling into sin.
“When I said, ‘My foot is slipping!’ Your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up!” Psalm 94:18
“Hold me up, and I shall be safe!” Psalm 119:117
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am Your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

Thank God for His willingness to hold us up. In these days of uncertainty and trials, our God is making sure His children do not stumble.
