Life cannot be measured by the immediate. The good of life is evaluated in eternal outcomes. “The Lord upholds the righteous . . . their inheritance will endure forever” (vv. 17-18). The Lord makes our steps sure. When we stumble, and we do, the hand of the Lord holds us so we can quickly get back on our feet.

Missionary Adoniram Judson, was called of God to faithfully serve in Burma (now Myanmar) in the 1800s for 14 years without a convert. He wrote on the fly leaf of his Bible, “The prospects are as bright as the promises of God.” Even though the government has imposed religious restrictions these days, there are more than 100 Christian Bible colleges in that country training leaders to effectively disciple the followers of Christ.

When the enemy seems to throw his worst at the believers, the Lord upholds the righteous with his strong hand. There are eternal pleasures at God’s right hand.
