It is our goal to worship as directed by God’s Word and to teach and obey the will of God as revealed in the Bible.

Daily Devotional
DAILY DEVOTIONAL ✝️
Falling
Most mornings (though not this morning. It’s gonna rain!) Trish and I take a walk. We do this for two reasons:
1: Trish likes to walk.
2: She makes me.
Anyway, I read recently of a 91 year old man who just (for the second time!) walked the entirety of the Appalachian Trail. The AT is 2,193 miles long, from Maine to Georgia.
If you want to read a wonderful book about the AT, pick up a copy of A Walk In The Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail, by Bill Bryson. It’s a hoot, but be warned. It contains some spots of spicy words and events. A lot of weird folks can be met on the AT..
I haven’t read it in many years, so my hydrocephalus has probably and thankfully cleaned it up for me.
But I digress. Back to the devotional… What impresses me most about Mr. Sanders’ recent record is that, along the way, he fell 71 times! Balance becomes an issue with old age, and the AT can be difficult in spots. In terms of falling I speak from experience. That he fell “a few” times doesn’t surprise me. That he got up every time and kept on walking does! What dedication..
Falling is a human experience. Learning to walk is a challenge for all young children. That doesn’t change as we grow older, though our method of falling and getting back up may. Ecclesiastes 4:9,10 gives advice for those who fall: “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!”
So we all need a support team. The best “support team” for people who fall is the church our Lord established. Hebrews 3:13 points to this truth: “But exhort one another every day … that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” Your spiritual family will come to your side when you fall and help you get back on your feet. They are committed to walking with you all the way!
So spend as much time as you can around those folks. They will help you to not fall, and pick you up when you do!~jme
THOUGHT OF THE DAY:🤔 I'm not too old to sit in a bean bag chair, but I am too old to get out of a bean bag chair...
