A Lesson About Stumbling

55

I do not stumble when I walk in the light, and I always stumble when I walk in the dark. Do you do the same?

I am not talking about tripping over a twig on the sidewalk, nor I am speaking of falling on black ice I cannot see.

Do you know what God has to say about walking in the light?

“He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him (1 John 2:10 KJV).”

Do you know what God has to say about walking in the dark?

“But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes (1 John 2:11 KJV).”

So who stumbles and falls? The person who hates his brother stumbles and falls.

Who stands and walks in victory? The person who loves his brother walks in God’s light – His love.

In these scriptures, the word “stumbles” also translates into “occasion to fall” and “thing that offends.”

Holding onto hurts, bitterness, disappointments, anger, wounds, and resentment is the perfect occasion to fall. Holding on to these forms of unforgiveness is an offense; it goes against the will of our Lord.

If you are stumbling through your life like I have been, if you are tripping over yourself in a failing effort to move forward, if you are disgruntled with stubbing your toes – and heart – time after time, try walking in the light.

God is love, He is the answer, and the answer is love.

Try forgiveness. I can think of no better way to begin a new year, have a new start, learn the way of the Lord, and walk forward in His will than to do as He does. Love like He does. His love forgives.

    not solid, but what if you added a headline to possibly get folk’s attention? I mean A Lesson About Stumbling | Lara Love's Good News Daily Devotional is kinda plain. You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create news titles
    to get viewers interested. You might add a video or a
    related pic or two to grab people excited about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it would bring your blog a little
    livelier.

  26. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into
    any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My blog has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears
    a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my
    agreement. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off?
    I’d really appreciate it.

  27. You actually make it appear so easy along with your
    presentation however I to find this topic to be actually something that I believe I’d by no

    put up, I will attempt to get the grasp of it!
