Q. How does God order our steps?
I hope these next few weeks will be an encouragement, a challenge and a blessing. We begin with Psalm 37:23, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.” Before we begin I want to acknowledge that the Bible states “… there is none good but one, that is, God” (Mark 10:18).

Q. Who does God help?
Christian minister Erwin Lutzer argues there is some support for this saying in the Bible (2 Thessalonians 3:10, James 4:8); however, much more often God helps those who cannot help themselves, which is what grace is about (the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican, Ephesians 2:4–5, Romans 4:4–5).
