"If the Lord delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand." -- Psalm 37:23-24

There is incredible power to resoluteness.  There can be enormous momentum developed when the way and the path are certain.  When you understand who you are and what you are called to do, you are free to focus on the path that God has set before you and not be distracted by frivolous detractors.  When you walk confidently in the ways of God, which are always good... when you make decisions from a place of love, compassion, and grace... and when you seek his way above all others... you can walk with certainty.  Walk not with arrogance, self-righteousness, or pride, but with a humble sureness that your life matters and that you can make a difference for God.
