A. GOD made my feet like hind's feet.

"He makes my feet like hinds’ feet [able to stand firmly or make progress on the dangerous heights of testing and trouble];"

Our example of this kind of strength in his feet is King David.

He makes my feet like the hinds’ [firm and able]; He sets me secure and confident upon the heights.

We can claim this promise and this promise is for everyone who wants to follow the LORD GOD. His feet can become as strong as the hind's feet, so that he can always stand still and watch the salvation of GOD.

Exodus 14:13 (Amplified Bible)

Moses told the people, Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again.

and also standing is the least that we can do.

But look to yourselves; for they will turn you over to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake as a testimony to them.

“You must be CAREFUL. People will arrest you and take you to court and beat you in their synagogues. You will be forced to STAND before kings and governors, to tell them about me. This will happen to you because you follow me.

B. GOD sets me up securely upon high places.

"He sets me securely upon my high places."

When I started to work in a secular company, of course, it's actually a setup. GOD has already given to me power and authority over all the souls of men and women in this company and my responsibility is to bring their souls to JESUS.

Matthew 28:18-20 (Amplified Bible)

Jesus approached and, breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (erpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be).

Habakkuk 3:19 (Amplified Bible)

The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds’ feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]! For the Chief Musician; with my stringed instruments.

2 Samuel 22:14 (Amplified Bible)
