“Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” How many times have I heard it said, “How could they do such a thing? I could never do that.” Oh, yes we can. We are capable of doing anything anyone else has done. When we think or say such a thing, we have stepped from the Solid Rock onto thin ice.
David thought himself secure within his own house. Yet, this is where the serpent bit him (Amos 5:19). And is not this the man who said, “I will walk within my house with a perfect heart?” Peter, warming his body around the enemy’s fire, never realized what could come out of his cold heart. Had he not boasted and believed, “Though all men shall...yet will I never”? When we think ourselves the safest, we are the most vulnerable.
If you have experienced one of life’s embarrassing falls you might want to read Prov.24:16; Psl.37:23-24).
David fell while walking; Peter fell while standing; you’re not apt to fall while kneeling.
