Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble. – Psalm 119:165 (NIV)
I'm usually quite clumsy. I can recall a time when I wore some new shoes to church. In the church's lobby, somehow, I was able to hook one shoe into the leg of my pants. I don't know how I did it, but there was no way out of the problem. I was tripping and falling to the floor in front of everyone.
Stumbling in everyday situations isn't fun. Obviously, doing it in front of lots of other people can bring some laughs and embarrassment, too.
God doesn't want us to stumble when it comes to our decisions and in life. And one of the best ways to do that is by falling in love with God's word or His law. The more we read our Bibles, the more we begin to understand what God is like. And as we do, it helps us not fall and stumble in life.
We all want that. We don't want to make mistakes in life and stumble, fall, and mess things up. God shows us in this verse that if we read His word, we won't stumble in life, and we will be at peace. Those things sound really good to me.
So I encourage you today to determine that you will make God's word a priority in your life. Reading God's word brings many benefits and will help you in life. So, decide to make time each day to spend in Bible reading and prayer. You'll be really glad you did.
