Weebles Wobble

As I began reading "Jesus Calling" today, I first read the scripture references and have been blown away by God's Words in  
 Psalm 37:23-24.....
"If the Lord delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm;  though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand."
 Wow...
When I step out the Lord's will,  my steps will be wobbly. Every time I choose to disobey what the Lord tells me to do  in His Word.. I will wobble through the day. When I walk hand in hand with the Lord  and follow His statutes He will make my steps firm. So whenever I an tripping over my own two feet, it is a sign that I am stepping away from the Lord. This still doesn't guarantee that I may not "stumble",  because the stumbling will be part of the path that the Lord has constructed for me. 
I think of the toys from way back... Weebles...egg shaped characters given the catchphrase of " weebles wobble but they don't fall down". Boy does this explain Psalm 37:23-24... How God is the One who makes our steps firm, yet since we are human, we will stumble or wobble but will not fall down because the Lord will " uphold" ( to lean, lay, rest, support, put, uphold, lean upon ) us! How cool is that. What freedom to know that I will not fall..  Even though the circumstances around me may feel crushing. We are all fragile eggs, yet having Christ as our center( our yolk) and when we are following the Lord's ways... we may crack a bit,  but won't be destroyed, because  our  Daddy is "upholding" us.  But   when my "wobbling" is due to my choice of going my own way...I will fall.  



So wobbly me will take my Lord's hand so He can uphold me in all circumstances for which He places me in today...because as a daughter of the King I am a  Weeble that will wobble..but won't  fall down!  

May your steps be firm as you lean on the Lord in this wobbly world.
