Sure-footedness



"The LORD God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hind's feet, and He
will make me to walk upon mine high places" (Habakkuk 3:19). 



This confidence of the man of God is tantamount to a promise, for that which
faith is persuaded of is the purpose of God. The prophet had to traverse the
deep places of poverty and famine, but he went down hill without slipping, for
the LORD gave him standing. By and by he was called to the high places of the
hills of conflict; and he was no more afraid to go up than to go down. 



See! The LORD lent him strength. Nay, Jehovah Himself was his strength. Think
of that: the almighty God Himself becomes our strength! 



Note that the LORD also gave him sure-footedness. The hinds leap over rock and
crag, never missing their footholds. Our LORD will give us grace to follow the
most difficult paths of duty without a stumble. He can fit our foot for the
crags so that we shall be at home where apart from God we should perish. 



One of these days we shall be called to higher places still. Up yonder we shall
climb, even to the mount of God, the high places where the shining ones are
gathered. Oh, what feet are the feet of faith, by which, following the Hind of
the Morning, we shall ascend into the hill of the LORD!

798 7.6.8. J. HART 




Faith, hope, love, righteousness, peace. 1 Thess. 1. 3 




1 Faith in Jesus can repel 
The darts of sin and death; 
Faith gives victory over hell; 
But who can give us faith? 
Hope in Christ the soul revives, 
Supports the spirits when they droop;  Hope celestial comfort gives; 
But who can give us hope? 

2 Love to Jesus Christ and his, 
Fixes the heart above; 
Love gives everlasting bliss; 
But who can give us love? 
To believe’s the gift of God; 
Well-grounded hope he sends from heaven,  Love’s the earnest of his blood, 
To all his children given. 

3 Jesus, from thy boundless store,  Thy treasuries of grace, 
On thy feeble followers pour 
Thy righteousness and peace. 
Of thy righteousness alone 
Continual mention we will make; 
We have nothing of our own; 
But soul and all’s at stake.
