My steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the boastful, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. — Psalm 73:2-3

 Psalmist Asaph came dangerously close to falling spiritually (Ps. 73:2). He observed wicked people prospering, obtaining their wishes, and passing away painlessly (vv. 3–12), yet while leading an upright life, he was "chastened every morning" (vv. 13–14). He was so envious that he almost believed it was pointless to live a heavenly life. 

However, when his attention was on God, he understood that the wicked are on shaky ground and are approaching judgment (vv. 17–20). He admitted his folly and understood that God supports and rewards those who put their trust in Him (vv. 21–24). 

Put your hand in the hand of God. It's your best defense against tripping in the treacherous terrain of life.

If you place your hand in God's, He will save you from falling. If you find yourself in a precarious situation, stay by Jesus' side and make sure He has your hand in his. He will be your dependable leader.
