My Foot is Slipping
Do you ever have those times when, like the writer of Psalm 94, you feel like your foot is slipping? You've been holding it together so long and then one more thing comes along causing you to lose your grip. Illness has been plaguing myself and my loved ones over the last year and actually looking back it's been several years now. One health problem after another has caused times of fear, doubt, tears, and eventually prayers. Because when your foot is slipping, the only thing left to do is hold on to the promises of God.
I'd like to say I have handled these events like a saint of old, but anxiety has a way of finding its way into my thoughts and even my prayers. Although I know worry and faith are polar opposites, my old habits break down my walls when troubles begin to pile up. God's Word is the only thing that brings back my strength, gives rest to my tired soul, and sends joy in due season. May you seek God today as your foot begins to slip. Call out to Him in your troubles and He will hear you (Ps. 50:15). Wait on the Lord and He will bring you peace (Ps. 37:5).

Psalm 94:18-19
When I said, "My foot is slipping,"
your unfailing love, LORD, supported me.
When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy.
