Artwork No. 2

Psalm 17:5 NLT “My steps have stayed on your path; I have not wavered from following you.”

In Psalm 17:5, David is expressing his reliance on God for guidance and protection and he is committed to following God’s ways despite his human flaws. Walking in God’s footsteps reflects a life of obedience and there is security when you stay on a safe, established route, avoiding the dangers of territory outside of God’s protection and guidance. By not wavering, David demonstrates stability and a firm foundation in his spiritual journey, which is encouragement for us to remain faithful, even amidst challenges.

In the painting, a woman is walking in existing footprints on a large scale; the footprints of God. God’s righteous way of living, according to His will and commandments, is symbolized by a walking path and each step taken represents the actions and decisions of a person. As Christians, we are called to seek and follow God’s guidance in every aspect of our lives. Walking in the footsteps of God requires daily commitment and intentionality and we can trust that God will help us from wavering. Reflect on your own spiritual journey and consider whether your steps are aligned with God’s path.
