3 How long will you assault me?
Would all of you throw me down—
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4 Surely they intend to topple me
from my lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.
5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;Would all of you throw me down—
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4 Surely they intend to topple me
from my lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.
my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. Psalm 62:3-6
I watched my youngest son put together quite the Lego masterpiece this week. It happened to be one of the Star Wars walkers, and if you know anything about Star Wars you know that the smallest grappling hook and wire made one of these beasts fall in the movie. While I was watching my son put together this walker, it toppled a couple of times until he had every piece attached correctly, then it was a sturdy piece to maneuver around the living room. Our lives are much like this walker as we pass through this existence. When we have God in our life, we have a sturdy foundation to keep us from toppling over. However, when we don't have the regular pieces of God in our life, prayer, scripture study and worship then we can tend to lean away from His sturdy foundation and could eventually topple over and crash. The thing about God is that He is a forgiving God and can raise us back up if we lean into Him and His teachings. Don't let the grappling hooks and wire of this world topple you.
Have a great weekend.
