Daily Walking, Working, and Winning by God's Word by Rev. Dr. Alvin C. Hathaway Sr.

"Stony the road we trod." As we make our journey through life, we most assuredly find moments in life when we are surrounded by difficulties. One false step and down we will go. What a slippery path we walk. In the best of circumstances, we may falter. In the best of situations we quickly stumble. Our feeble knees cannot support the weight of sin. A stick may throws us, a pebble may wound us, or a bump may trip us; we are like a child learning to walk whose first steps are trembling and wavering, likewise, we take baby steps of faith. Thank God, He holds us up by our arms, or we would fall down. Thank God, He is patience with us and permits us another opportunity to get it right. When we lest expect it, enemies hide in ambush, and predicaments come to knock us down. However, God is able, to keep you from falling. Only an Almighty God can preserve us from unseen foes, who are seeking to destroy us. His arm is engaged for our defense. His is faithful as he has promised not to allow our weakness to be our sole support. It's His strength and power that holds us up with all around us is giving way. It's His grace and mercy that sustain us through difficult and trying times. It's His perfect peace that keeps us from falling apart and giving in. Thank God that He is able to keep you and me from falling.
