Ärende: Avoid That Slip
=======================

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."

“He bringeth them unto their desired haven.ö Ps. 107. 30

1 Jesus, o’er the billows steer me, Be my Pilot in each storm;
Hold me fast and keep me near thee, For thou know’st I’m but a worm;
What concerns me,
By thy power and love perform.

2 Soon the tempest will be over,
To our destined port we sail;
Jesus, our eternal Lover,
Says his word shall never fail.
Storms shall never
Reach us more within the vail.

3 In the midst of tribulation,
Oft we cast a wishful eye
To our future habitation,
And by faith the shore espy;
Blest assurance!
We shall mount to dwell on high.

4 With what raptures he’ll embrace us, Wipe away each falling tear!
Near himself for ever place us,
And with love our bosoms cheer;
Hallelujah!
We shall with the Lamb appear!
