Psalm
37:23,24
"The steps of a
man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he
shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand."
ESV
Picture a parent and
small child walking hand in hand. The toddler stumbles and begins to fall.
Though his little body may go to the ground, the parent's hand is holding on to
lift him back to his feet. The parent knows the toddler is not yet expert in the
art of walking upright. The same is true for our Lord Jesus. When we desire to
walk with Him, His hand is always in ours. Yes, we will stumble and fall.
Regardless of the fall, our Lord is holding onto us, and with a gentle pull of
His hand in ours, He gets us back on our feet. His love and faithfulness never
changes. He knows we haven't been spiritually perfected yet.
Heavenly Father, what
a great comfort it is to know You have hold of our hands and when we fall, You
are there to get us back on our feet. Keep us from pulling our hands from Yours,
because then we will fall and not be able to get back up. Lead us to the waters
of Your wisdom and Spiritual maturity, so that our stumbling will not keep us as
infants. We pray this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
