Psalms 66:9

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

The safety of the saints

Now, in these words we notice--

I. The life. “He holdeth our soul in life.” This is--

1. A life of purity in opposition to sin.

2. Of plenty in opposition to a life of poverty.

3. Of godly exercise, or exercise unto godliness.

4. Of pleasing discovery.

II. The preservation. “He holdeth,” etc. This applies to all the four ideas adverted to.

III. The fixation. “He suffereth not our feet to be moved.” Now, how is it our feet cannot be moved finally? Why, because we have, in salvation matters, “a covenant ordered in all things and sure.” (James Wells.)
