“To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy” (Jude 1:24).
It is written about Abraham that he did not waver concerning the promise. This is the kind of steadfastness God desires to see in all who trust in Him. The Lord wants His people to walk with such stability that not even a tremor is noticed among their ranks, even when facing the enemy. The strength of the spiritual walk lies in consistency—even in the small things.
But it is precisely these “small things” that most often cause people to stumble. Most falls do not come from great trials, but from distractions and attitudes that seem insignificant. The enemy knows this. He prefers to bring down a servant of God with something as light as a feather, rather than with a great attack. This gives him more satisfaction—to win with almost nothing.
That is why it is essential that the soul be grounded in the powerful Law of God and in His beautiful commandments. It is through this faithful obedience, even in the smallest decisions, that the servant of God remains steadfast. When life is aligned with the Creator’s will, stumbling becomes rare, and the walk becomes steady, courageous, and victorious. -Adapted from A. B. Simpson. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.
Pray with me: Lord my God, I thank You because You call me to a steady, secure walk, without wavering. You desire that I move forward with confidence, not letting myself be carried away by small things.
Help me to be attentive to the details of my daily life, so that nothing causes me to stumble. Give me a disciplined heart, one that values even the smallest acts of obedience. May I never underestimate the small temptations, but face everything with courage, trusting in Your Law and faithfully obeying Your commandments.
Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You because You sustain me with every step. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like solid stone beneath my feet. Your beautiful commandments are like marks along the path, keeping me from going astray and guiding me with love. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
