TO BE KEPT FROM STUMBLING

TO BE KEPT FROM STUMBLING

“He will keep the feet of His saints” (1. Sam. 2. 9)

Perils as well as privileges attend the higher Christian life. The nearer we come to God, the thicker the hosts of darkness in heavenly places. The safe place lies in obedience to God's Word, singleness of heart, and holy vigilance.

When Christians speak of standing in a place where they do not need to watch, they are in great danger. Let us walk in sweet and holy confidence, and yet with holy, humble watchfulness, and “He will keep the feet of His saints.” And “now unto Him who is able to keep us from stumbling, and present us faultless before the presence of His glory, to the only wise God, our Saviour, be glory, and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.”

What to do we often wonder, As we seek some watchword true,

Lo, the answer God has given, What would Jesus do?

When the shafts of fierce temptation, With their fiery darts pursue,

This will be your heavenly armor, What would Jesus do?

(from "Days of Heaven upon Earth" by A.B. Simpson)
