He made my feet

    like the feet of a deer

and set me secure

              on the heights.

...You gave a wide place

     for my steps under me,

and my feet did not slip.

              Psalm 18. 33, 36

(Trusting God

     is a step-by-step following,

not always to somewhere else,

  but faithfulness right where we are.

We cannot tell by our own sight

           which rocks are unsteady

    or where that other path goes,

but God guides us in His way,

            even in unexpected places.

We cannot ever know for what

     He is bringing us through this

and how He is training us

                to trust Him even more.

There are no small obediences,

      nor insignificant ones.)

O LORD,

Make our feet like the nimble deer

   and set us secure

              in the high scary places

          and even in the ordinary.

Guide our feet, our thoughts,

     even for what we pray,

that we would know You,

          trust You,

    and love You more.

Even today.
