What makes the feet of a deer so special? What quality do they possess that makes them something to be desired? Well, living in western Pennsylvania, the deer we see are usually standing in the middle of a level field or at the edge of a tree line. But we can understand what makes the deer (and their feet) spoken of here so special because they are found in the mountains, the high places. Places where the footing was uneven, dangerous and not easy to overcome. And yet these deer have been given the ability to do just that. To overcome. Despite the challenges of rugged terrain, they move about easily, effortlessly and elegantly. God has given them a sure-footedness. I've read that, when climbing a mountain, a deer could put it's back (hind) feet in exactly the same spot where it's front feet had just stepped. Exactly and without error. With certainty and precision. With ordered steps.
We all face obstacles in our lives. Mountains we must climb. But God has given us the ability to overcome any challenge. He has given us the feet of an over comer (Lk. 10:19). The sure-footedness of one whose steps have been ordered (Ps. 37:23). He makes our feet like the feet of a deer!
