He keeps your foot from slipping

"He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber." Psalm 121:3

The original word "moved" in Hebrew means to waver, to slip, to shake or to fall. That gives meaning to the first part of our verse: He, the LORD, will not allow your foot to slip. If you stand firmly on the sure Rock, He will see to it that you don't slip and fall.

The same word "moved" is used in Psalm 55:22 "Cast your burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved."

A further application can be made: If you decide to do what is right, He will help you to stand firm in your decision.

He who keeps you will not slumber: God is awake at all times - He sees everything that takes place in His great universe. He keeps His hand over you, guards you. He keeps your feet in place, so that you do not slip.

With the promise in verse 3, go into this day with confidence!
