God Guards His People

Commentators agree that this verse presents a foundational truth: God actively protects His people. John Gill explains that God 'keeps their feet,' meaning He guides their actions, keeps them in His ways, and secures them from falling away permanently. This divine protection is a promise for those consecrated to Him.
