APPLICATION
As a young child learning to walk frequently stumbles and fall, so we all stumble and fall in our Christian walk. Our loving heavenly Father is right there with us, encouraging and guiding us through His Spirit, teaching us through each fall how to maintain a more balanced and steady walk. When we do fall, He is there to pick us up, dust us off, and send us on our way. Beware of over -confidence and pride. Keep alert to obstacles and temptations which the enemy puts in your path. These will trip you up! Depend on Him who is able to keep you from falling. God’s love and mercy are great.
