To him
who is able
to keep you from stumbling...
Jude 1:24 NIV
What stops me stumbling, from falling?
Is it all about having a smooth path? An easy way?
Or is it about a few other things...
Light
I'll stumble and fall walking in the dark
God's word is light to my path.
Living in the light of his word, choosing God's way of living in the everyday stops me from falling.
Hide God's Word, His words, in your heart, and recall them, use them.
When God says flee from something, run.
When he says choose something, do it.
A fave "go to" is "the most excellent way", the way of love...the first one is "Love is patient", if I'm good with that, go to the next "Love is kind" and so on
As we choose to live in the light, the potholes in the path become easier to see, and easier to navigate.
As we walk in the light of His Word, He stops us from stumbling, from falling.

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
