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?

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.

Not only that but Jesus was somehow the agent of everything that has been made in the physical, social, and spiritual. Jesus is at the centre of it all. Walking around Jesus. Cooking fish for breakfast Jesus. Heart aching as he ...
