All From Abundance - Vol. #011

Don't Let Me Fall

Back again with another story about our daughter. Let’s be real - kids are the best teachers.

One morning this week before coming down for school, Kennedy ran back in her room for one more thing. We usually walk down together, and I was truly in a rush thinking of all the things I needed to do before we left the house.

However, I quickly noticed she had socks on, and her walking down the stairs in socks is a recipe for disaster. So I waited.

When she emerged from her room, she locked eyes with me and she said, “Mommy, don’t let me fall.” She kept her eyes on me, smiled with gratitude for me waiting, and recalled the time when she fell “last year.” And I held her hand and reminded her I would never let her slip and fall.

And the Holy Spirit immediately brought this scripture to mind…

I pictured myself locking eyes with my Savior, walking in step with him, and in faith - begging, please don’t let me fall.

But what encouraged me more than anything was the confidence, the boldness, the single-minded focus that Kennedy had as she trusted in me. She knew I would be there. She knew I would sustain her.

Even when she brought up a memory from the past, she gripped my hand and we walked step by step together.

It ended up being a full week for us. Many close to us have experienced some real tragedy and heartbreak.

I met a woman at the doctor’s office this week who has been diagnosed with breast cancer for the third time. I simply don’t understand.

We all experience our own worries, fears, and anxieties. But God’s Word says to cast, give and surrender it all to Him. He will take care of you!

Let that be a breath prayer: He will never allow the godly to slip and fall.

He won’t let you fall through the cracks, nor has He forgotten about you. The God of abundance wants to meet you today and lift your soul.

And in a small moment this week, trying to rush down the steps, the Holy Spirit stopped me right where I was, brought truth to my mind, and refreshed my heart and soul.
