I. "HE WILL KEEP THE FEET OF HIS SAINTS."

1. Straying - Ps. 37:23 "The steps of a good man."
2. Falling - "Now unto Him who is able to keep..."
B. How does He keep?

2. Through His Spirit.
C. What about those who are not His saints?
1. "Not so, the ungodly, not so, like chaff driven by the wind."
2. Deut. "Their foot shall slide in due time."

II. "THE WICKED SHALL BE SILENT IN DARKNESS"
A. The saint rejoices while walking in the light.
1. The wicked plodding in darkness, lost, hopeless, helpless, silenced through eternity.

3. Why do we despair?
4. "For it's not by might nor by power but by my Spirit saith the Lord."
B. Why cannot man prevail by strength?

2. Even mental strength though greater still fails.
a. The power of sin overcomes the strongest minds.
b. You cannot mesmerize to victory.
C. God has granted to us the strength that prevails.
1. Acts 1:8.
2. If we falter or fail it is because we have failed in appropriating His strength.
