| “He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber…” |
| —Psalm 121:3 |
As we climb through the pathway of our lives, it’s important to do whatever we can to not slip and fall. I’m talking not only physically, but about “slipping” in regard to any of our four human modalities: heart, soul, mind, and strength—or, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and physical.
Sometimes, at least in the physical modality, we can take precautions in the kinds of shoes we wear, or the use of some ambulatory aid, such as a cane or walker or wheel chair. Taking steps to protect us from slipping in our emotional, spiritual, and intellectual modalities takes a markedly different turn.
Speaking of God, the Psalmist offers this helpful declaration, found in Psalm 121:3:
He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber…
As we begin a new day, let’s pray and ask God to keep us from slipping in all four of our human modalities. Then, let’s take whatever actions we can to avoid those situations where we might slip. After all, by relying on the Holy Spirit to keep us on the proper pathway of life, we can remain so much more useful to God, to others, and to ourselves.
