He will not let you slip

Have you ever watched a toddler begin walking; it can be both amazingly humbling and quite humorous at the same time. Now, don't judge me. We have all seen a baby take its first steps and there is a reason they are called toddlers. They weave back and forth, they get unbalanced from one side, then the other, they fight gravity with all they have; it can be both - humbling and humorous.

I can tell you from experience that, for some, it doesn't just end with the toddler years. I have bouts of vertigo and wobbliness from what we believe is Meniere's disease. It, too, is very humbling; there are times that it flares up and I have to have help to safely reach the floor. And, I am sure that if you are watching me try to walk a straight line, it is also quite humorous. Slips and falls can be kinda funny to those who witness it and quite embarrassing to those to which it occurs.

Today's word is Psalm 121:3, NIV, which reads, "He will not let your foot slip--He Who watches over you will not slumber."

While toddlers and inner ear sufferers have moments of slippage, we can rest assured that GOD will place us on solid ground and will not allow us to slip. The slip here is not a foot problem; it is a heart problem. Many there have been, and many there will be, that will allow a sticky situation to cause them to slip. I know; I've been there. Not proud of it but certainly won't deny it. However, if we will keep our focus on JESUS and walk the path that He has prepared for us, and us for, we will find solid and secure footing. It is when we trail off the path that we find ourselves slipping.

How's your walk? I can tell you that my physical walk is not good today - I have had a pretty bad flare. But, we're talking about your spiritual walk? How is your walk with GOD today? Are you on solid and secure ground? Or, are you finding yourself slipping and wobbling? You may not want to admit it but GOD knows where you are. Follow His path. He is ever vigilant, ever present, and He will not let you slip.

Be Blessed,
