Jude 1:24
“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,”
I was coming up the basement steps. At the last step I slipped and fell. I was looking at a piece of mail and I had slides on. It happened so fast.
The fall propelled me into the upstairs hallway. Yes, the pain was excruciating. I prayed: Lord help me to get up. Please let me move my leg and don’t let my knee be broken.
By the grace of God I was able to move my leg and get off the floor. I hobbled upstairs, sat on the bed and called one of my daughters to report the mishap and to tell her how thankful I was that I did not break anything.
He is able to keep me from falling.
The Lord did not let me fall “down”the stairs.
It is very likely I would have sustained serious injury had I done so.
He allowed me to fall “up” and stretch out.
In my mind’s eye I see the angels grabbing me before my face hit the wall.
In the natural sense I fell because I lost focus. Instead of concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other and completing the action of step climbing,
I chose to focus on the envelope in my hand.
I could have waited until I was on sure footing to read it.
The lesson is clear,
I hear it in my head and feel it in my spirit.
Watch your step.
Pay attention to where you are headed.
Stay focused.
Let the Lord guide your steps.
He is able to keep you from falling
And to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy
God bless.
In Christ,
