Slip

Lord I am slipping. 

But Your unfailing love O Lord supported me

എന്റെ കാൽ വഴുതുന്നു എന്നു ഞാൻ പറഞ്ഞപ്പോൾ യഹോവേ, നിന്റെ ദയ എന്നെ താങ്ങി.

സങ്കീർത്തനങ്ങൾ 94:18

While you slip - all you want is to hold on to something. At least a blade of grass or a piece of straw. You try to hold on and then hope that it would be strong. 

No amount of knowledge or wisdom or logic would you apply at that split second. But you hold on. Hoping. 

You would want to hold on to somebody stronger. Hoping they would be strong enough to prevent you from falling. 

You won't apply any logic there. Even if he is the president of the United States standing nearby, if you slip you try to hold him. 

You try to hold on, hoping. 

And what is your hope? Not that the straw is strong enough. Nor that the person wouldn't fall with you. Your hope is that you wouldn't fall. 

Hence let us be wise in holding on to that which sustains; or is strong enough. So when crisis comes; let it be a habit that you would hold on to that which is worthwhile. Not worthless, useless things or people. 

And this will not be developed when you are in dire crisis. 

This has to be imprinted in our minds, when we are in our normalcy and that His love and His mercy alone is the only thing that is worth the trust. Only He can sustain. Only He can support. The everlasting arms of the Son and the Father will always be there. The overarching presence of God we need to experience as a daily routine. 

May we all hold on to Him when we are slipping

That  can happen only if we hold on to Him while we are standing.
