OT Promise 302: Walk Safely and not Stumble

Proverbs 3:23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

This is a further promise based on the condition that you gain and keep wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. That is, if you receive Jesus (the Wisdom of God) and keep faith in Him, then you will walk in your way safely and you will not stumble and fall. “Your way” is your life’s peculiar spiritual journey, unique to you and no one else’s way. “Your way” is Jesus, who is the one and only same way for all us, but He mixes His perfect plan and design with our character to create a unique way for each of us. If we stay on that way with Jesus abiding in us we can be sure that we will walk in our way safely.

We make sure that we are walking in our way safely by hearing His Word and keeping His Wisdom. The works and ways of the evil ones surrounding our path are relentlessly trying to get us to stumble and fall from the path. The promise says your foot shall not stumble. Oh, we slip many times along the way, but we are continually repentant and see set upright again and again on the right path. Trust the keeping power of the Word and the Spirit.
