WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN WE STUMBLE?

HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div

When we stumble, any number of things might happen. We might simply trip over something and “catch” ourselves so we don’t completely collapse. We might twist a muscle or sprain an ankle trying to avoid a fall. Or we might suffer bruises, bumps or breaks from a hard fall.

• Serious tumbles make us more cautious, maybe even fearful.
• We may lose some confidence and walk more tentatively than necessary.
• We might avoid frightening situations.

These are some of the consequences of spiritual stumbling as well: fear, insecurity and withdrawal from following hard after the Lord.
