Avoid That Slip

"Then shalt thou walk in thy way of safety, and thy foot shall not stumble"
(Proverbs 3:23).

That is to say, if we follow the ways of wisdom and holiness we shall be
preserved in them. He who travels by daylight along the highway is under some
protection. There is a way for every man, namely, his own proper calling in
life, and if we devoutly walk therein in the fear of God He will preserve us
from evil. We may not travel luxuriously, but we shall walk safely. We may not
be able to run like young men, but we shall be able to walk like good men.

Our greatest danger lies in ourselves: our feeble foot is so sadly apt to
stumble. Let us ask for more moral strength that our tendency to slip may be
overcome. Some stumble because they do not see the stone in the way: divine
grace enables us to perceive sin and so to avoid it. Let us plead this promise
and trust in Him who upholds His chosen.

Alas! Our worst peril is our own carelessness, but against this the LORD Jesus
has put us on our guard, saying, "Watch and pray."

Oh, for grace to walk this day without a single stumble! It is not enough that
we do not actually fall; our cry should be that we may not make the smallest
slip with out feet but may at the last adore Him "who is able to keep us from
stumbling."

"Faith without works is dead." James 2. 20-26 1 Vain man, to boast forbear,
The knowledge in thy head;
The sacred Scriptures this declare: "Faith without works is dead."

2 When Christ the Judge shall come
To render each his due,
He'll deal thy deeds their righteous doom, And set thy works in view.

3 Food to the hungry give;
Give to the thirsty drink;
To follow Christ is to believe;
Dead faith is but to think.

4 The man that loves the Lord
Will mind whate'er he bid;
Will pay regard to all his word,
And do as Jesus did.

5 [The dead professor counts
Good works as legal ties;
His faith to action seldom mounts;
On doctrine he relies.

6 But words engender strife;
Behold the gospel plan:
Trust in the Lord alone for life,
And do what good you can.]
