It is easy for any of us to think
that we have a handle on things, but the truth is that we are not immune from
the very same thing. We could walk away
from God today. Oh,we would not be
planning it. We would not be expecting it. But, the potential is there. No one is immune, and it might not take much
to push me over the edge. It might be a stinging remark from another Christian,
it might be an insult, it might be discouragement, it might be failing to
understand God, but then again it might be a premeditated planned abandonment
of God.
The odd thing is that the times I
think I am the strongest are the times I am most vulnerable to falling. Therefore,
I need to be watchful that I stay near my Lord. Maybe that is one of the
reasons for my Parkinson's disease - it’s a constant reminder of my frailty.
"Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he
fall." 1 Corinthians 10:12.
