Divine upholding!

(Charles Spurgeon, "Treasury of David")

"You uphold me in my integrity." Psalm 41:12

Our integrity and virtue are the result of the divine upholding. We would fall, and blunder and spoil all-if left to ourselves. The Lord should be praised every day, if we are preserved from gross sin. When others sin-they show us what we would do, but for preserving grace.

"He fell today-and I may fall tomorrow!" was the exclamation of a holy man, whenever he saw another falling into sin.

"When I said, 'My foot is slipping!' Your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up!" Psalm 94:18

"Hold me up, and I shall be safe!" Psalm 119:117

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am Your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
