We will not fall nor stumble.

 We Will Not Fall or Stumble

A Reflection on Psalm 121:3, Jude 1:24, and Proverbs 4:12

We will not fall or stumble—not because our feet are sure,

But because the Lord upholds us, and His promise is secure.

The path may be uneven, the ground may shift and slide,

But He who watches over us is standing by our side.

He will not let your foot slip—He who watches over you will not slumber. (Psalm 121:3)

We will not fall—though the enemy sets snares,

Though the darkness whispers doubts and magnifies our fears.

The same hand that stretched the heavens reaches down to hold our own,

And we are never left to walk the treacherous road alone.

We may stumble—yes, even the righteous may trip and fall,

But the Lord upholds us with His hand; He will not let us sprawl.

He catches us before we hit the ground, He lifts us up again,

And sets our feet upon the Rock, far from the reach of pain.

Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again. (Proverbs 24:16)

We will not stumble into final, fatal defeat,

For the One who keeps us is complete.

He is able to keep us from stumbling and to present us blameless

Before His glorious presence, with joy and endless gladness.

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy... (Jude 1:24)

So we walk with confidence—not in our own ability,

But in the Shepherd’s watchful care, in His humility.

Our steps are ordered by the Lord; He holds us by the hand.

We will not fall or stumble as we journey to the promised land.

When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. (Proverbs 4:12)

Amen.
