Steady

Keep my steps steady by your word; don’t let any sin rule me. ~ Psalm 119:133 (CEB)

Brothers and sisters, don’t be like children in the way you think. Well, be babies when it comes to evil, but be adults in your thinking. ~ 1 Corinthians 14:20 (CEB)
Lord, you call us to live steady and mature lives. Part of that involves having nothing to do with things which are sinful. I wish I could say "I am that mature." But I expect that, by your grace, someday I will be. Keep me moving that direction -- steady on my feet. Chase away anything that might get caught up under my feet and trip me. Thank you for your word, the walking stick that keeps me standing. Amen.
