Read Psalms 37:23  Sometimes we do things just because we want to.  But sometimes there are things that we have to do.  When your father says it is time to go to church, you have to get ready and get into the car.  And then sometimes your mother says it is time to take a bath and to brush your teeth and you have to.  But sometimes you go outside and you can do absolutely anything that you want to.  You can play on the swing set or play in the sand box or throw rocks into the woods.  You don't have to do anything.  But this verse says that sometimes without knowing what you are doing, God will get you to do things that He wants you to do.  He will "order" our steps.  This verse does not say that God makes us do things against our will.  God does not force us to obey Him.  But this verse does say that if we decide to obey God and to do the things that He tells us in his Bible, then He will direct our path; God will "order our steps" as our verse says.  If we chose to go God's way, He has promised to lead us in the right way.  Just like you may lead your dog in the way that you are going to walk, God will lead us in His way.  Isn't it good to know that God knows what is going to happen tomorrow and next week, and that He is the one who is leading us?  That is, if we will follow Him.
