Let me tell you a story, that I am sure all of you have experienced at one time or another. I got home late from work one night, tired and dirty, since I work a restaurant, and all I wanted to do was just lay in my bed. I share a room with my, at the time, seven-year old sister, so she of course had been asleep for hours. Trying to avoid waking her up, I slowly crack open the door, blocking any possible entry for the hallway light. The room is completely dark.I take my shoes off, take off my socks, start tip-toeing to my bed and then BAM! Face plant. I hit the floor, shaking the bed side table, knowing the lamp over on the floor, hitting some random toy that start lighting up and singing songs. No surprise what happens next. My little sister wakes up and I have my dad yelling from the living room, “ARE YOU OKAY?!”
The verses that really struck me really hard in chapter 4 were verses 18 and 19.
“But the path of the just is like the shining sun. That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble.”
I immediately thought of that night when I read those words. And I know everyone has experienced something along those lines as well. What amazed me the most was “they do not know what makes them stumble.” I have no idea what I tripped on that night, but it didn’t make the fall any less painful or loud.
