Psalm 18:36
36 Thou hast enlarged [rachab] my steps [tsa`ad] under me,
that my feet [qarcol] did not slip. [ma`ad] KJV-Interlinear
36 Thou
dost enlarge my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped. NASB
Enlarge, ‘rachab,’ means
to broaden, enlarge, make room.
Steps, ‘tsa ad,’ means
pace or regular steps.
Feet, ‘qarcol,’ refers to
the ankle or foot, thus encompassing the entire action of ones walk.
Slip, ‘ma ad,’ means to
waver, to slip, to shake or to be shaken.
The feet are often used
as the symbolism for ones traveling through life. Where you walk is where you go in life.
The Bible often describes
the life as ones journey, from ones beginning of nothing, to ones destiny of
completeness.
You make your feet
go. You choose your direction. You choose your pace.
However, the world sets
limits on your available paths and choices, in that, rejection of Bible doctrine
by default, limits the opportunities that will be available to you.
Bad decisions limit
opportunities. Good decisions increase
your opportunities.
Therefore, the spiritual
life, broadens your opportunities, gives you a more secure and consistent direction
and course in life. It encompasses the
entirety of your life, not just certain aspects from this world, but
incorporates your entire eternal future as well as this life in time.
And most importantly,
your spiritual life, when you pursue it to its fullest, helps keep you from
slipping, from stumbling, from being shaken away from truth. Your life is
secure, and your meaning and purpose in life is fulfilled. Your destiny is guaranteed.
In this world, without
doctrine, you have none of that.
