[12] My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the Lord.
My feet stand on level ground. Level ground is an interesting thing. We often take it as a symbol of being safe to move forward where you will not fall or trip. However, that works mainly for walking, but what about standing? When you stand still on level ground you can remain there a long time. Secure. But when you stand, say on an incline, or with one foot on higher ground than the other, it does not take long for pain and stiffness, as well as a tired ache, to creep in.
But when we stand on the plans of God we stand on level ground.
Take away:
Waiting to move forward can be painful and tiring, but when you wait on the level ground of God’s plan it brings peace and security.

I am a young woman who grew up in British Columbia. In BC was all I ever wanted; I had my poodle (Max) and all my friends, Saturdays at the Vancouver Aquarium and Sunday afternoons at one of my favorite beaches it was paradise. But God had a different plan for my life and my dad's job landed us in Alberta and now where I remain, in small town Souris Manitoba. The transitions from paradise to prairie were difficult and I will admit that now 10 years later I still refer to home as Abbotsford BC. Through this crazy pathway trek across Canada I have had one true constant, God; and though none of it was easy, everything that has happened in my life has formed in me a true lasting friendship with the one I call Immanuel. Because no matter how far from home we are God is with us, and thanks to God I have found an almost completely over looked beauty in Manitoba. If you open your eyes you will see that God has planted wondrous things everywhere you go.
