Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble. (Ps 119:165)
What does “stumble” mean as used in the Bible?
It means: 1) to err; to slide into a crime or an error; 2) to have a moral failing; or 3) to place a blockage in someone’s way causing them to sin.
As the verse in Psalm 119 above says, when we have the peace that Jesus has given to us and we love God’s Word, then nothing has the power to cause us to sin. Hallelujah!
My son, let them not depart from your eyes—keep sound wisdom and discretion; 22 so they will be life to your soul and grace to your neck. 23 Then you will walk safely in your way, and your foot will not stumble. (Prov 3:21-23)
As we keep the wisdom and discretion that comes from reading and memorizing God’s Word in our hearts, those words are life itself to our souls. They provide grace to our behavior and character; they give us strength and sure-footedness. And they prevent us from stumbling.
He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. (1 Joh 2:10)
When we love our brothers and sisters in Christ, we live in the light where all of our actions are open to view. And in our actions, as we live for Christ and serve the Kingdom of God, there will be nothing for someone to see as an invitation or a cause to sin. This is just one of the many blessings that living a holy life, committed to serving Jesus Christ gives to us. Thank You, Lord!
