Psa. 18:32 It is God that maketh my way perfect.
v. 36: Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
v. 36 Thou shalt make room enough under me for to go. P.B.V.

He maketh my way perfect. Perfect--not easy; high places, steep places, are not easy places, but the hinds' feet are wonderfully prepared to stand on places that would be impossible to most creatures. "He maketh my feet like hinds' feet." Feet that can stand steadily in difficult places, feet that can walk in paths that are like a thread thrown down on a precipice, feet that can spring from point to point, not afraid of suddenly having to change direction; all this--and I expect much more--is in the picture David sees and calls "hinds' feet."

These words of Amy Carmichael's from a daily reading last week put to rest a worry in my mind: there were so many careful preparations for my trip to London, months of planning and anticipating. And then suddenly to say, I'm going to Albania! In two weeks! It was easy to doubt the wisdom of such a decision. Was it hasty? Would I regret it? (Perhaps some of you privately wondered these same questions.)

However, God had provided the ticket money. He had provided the time off from work. He had provided an open door to a family with an immediate need--Jane and Michael are in public school until a nanny can arrive.

Amy says, "Have you noticed this? Whatever need or trouble you are in, there is always something to help you in your Bible, if only you go on reading till you come to the word God specially has for you. I have noticed this often. Sometimes the special word is in the portion you would naturally read, or in the Psalms for the day, or in Daily Light... it is always somewhere. You will know it the moment you come to it, and it will rest your heart."

And then, lest any one of us should feel afraid of the difficult ways where the hinds go, we have this lovely word: "Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip." "Thou shalt make room enough under me for to go." We shall never come to a place where this is not true. There will always somehow be "room for me to go."
