Steady

I like the word steady. It implies balance, regular, even keeled, fixed, not shaky.  It can also mean continuous in growth and development. I like people with a steady hand when all around me is crazy and seemingly out of control.

As I was reading the book of the Acts of the Apostles this morning, I was reminded to remain steady and faithful because of Who Jesus is. King David even spoke about Him years before He walked the earth. Check this out…

²⁵ King David said this about him:

‘I see that the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
²⁶ No wonder my heart is glad,
    and my tongue shouts his praises!
    My body rests in hope.
²⁷ For you will not leave my soul among the dead
    or allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.
²⁸ You have shown me the way of life,
and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.’ (Acts 2:25-28 NLT) (Psalm 16:8-11 NLT)

I think steady is also related to faithfulness. I want to be faithful and steady in my walk with God. The Lord’s Presence in me helps make that happen. I must constantly remember that “the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.” (1 John 4:4 NLT)

I can love steady.

I can serve steady.

I can lead steady.

I can live steady.

His Presence in me changes my perspective on everything I see, everything I hear and everything I experience.  I can NEVER run from His Presence. He is with me wherever I am. His Presence steady’s me and my life. I want be steady in following Him.

Pressing On!
