The song starts out with, "Rejoice, for the steps of the righteous man, they are ordered of God..." This was the thought that brought the song to mind. There is a cool side effect that comes from this song. Because it is bouncy and catchy, it helps to simulate bouncy brain chemicals. This was something I had specifically and sincerely brought before the Lord this morning. This week's schedule, out of routine sleep hours, minor health issues etc had caused a significant brain fog. The kind of fog that you ponder with your last 1.5 functioning brain cells and you say to yourself, "wow, this is some fog." Really. Needed. Something... bouncy in the ol' brain.
So, without further ado, I will share the bouncy oldie via link, and the upholding, preserving, sustaining, scripture that goes with.
(Just for fun, the hebrew word for sustain is kuwl. Pronounced kool. So now I hope it sticks in your head, God's kool delivery of encouragement.)
Psalms 37: 23, 24 The steps of a man are established by the LORD, And He delights in his way. When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand.
UPHOLD
Isaiah 41:10
Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Psalm 63:8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
PRESERVE
Psalms 32:7
You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
Psalms 40:11
You, O LORD, will not withhold Your compassion from me; Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me.
SUSTAIN
Psalms 55:22
Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
