Go Ahead and Stumble
“And the wolf will dwell with the lamb,
(The Book of Isaiah 11: 6 NASB)
And the leopard will lie down with the young goat,
And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little boy will lead them.”
- As humans, we will always be sinful creatures—until Jesus comes.
- As humans, we will continually struggle between our desires and—doing what God wants.
- As humans, we will falter, fail, and oftentimes fall flat on our face—as we follow God.
Nevertheless!
I absolutely LOVE this word!
- Nevertheless, Go Ahead and walk with Jesus every day—always seeking His forgiveness when He reveals our sins.
- Nevertheless, Go Ahead and do the will of God every day—continually walking away from the temptations from the devil as we lean in on the strength of Jesus.
- Nevertheless, Go Ahead and follow God every day—oftentimes faltering, stumbling, and failing as we obediently learn to do God’s will.

Be Obedient.
Be Ready to not be perfect in all that we say and do this side of heaven.
Go Ahead and Stumble.
Despite our fumbling, our mishaps, our whatever—God Has the Sovereign Power to Change Hearts!
“And the wolf will dwell with the lamb,
(The Book of Isaiah 11: 6-10 NASB)
And the leopard will lie down with the young goat,
And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little boy will lead them.
Also the cow and the bear will graze,
Their young will lie down together,
And the lion will eat straw like the ox.
The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra,
And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.
They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD
As the waters cover the sea.
Then in that day
The nations will resort to the root of Jesse,
[The prophet Isaiah refers to Christ Jesus]
Who will stand as a signal for the peoples;
And His resting place will be glorious.”
- Imagine in our minds what this day will look like.
- See in our minds the truth of how this scene will appear.
- Recall the words of God in the flesh and believe!
- Remember the promises of the Son of God as He spoke of Paradise!
Dwell right there in this mind-blowing, amazing love of God!
The LORD of hosts declares as recorded by the prophet Zechariah—
“And I will bring the third part
(The Book of Zechariah 13: 9 NASB)
through the fire,
Refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
They will call on My name,
And I will answer them;
I will say, ‘They are My people,’
And they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’ “
- As humans, we remain sinful creatures, always seeking His forgiveness for our sins—Nevertheless, Go Ahead and walk with Jesus every day!

- As humans, we will falter, fail, and oftentimes fall flat on our face: stumbling, as we obediently follow God’s will—Nevertheless, Go Ahead and follow God on this day!
