Courage brother , do not stumble!!!!
Deuteronomy 28:13
And the Lord shall make thee the head and not the tail; And thou shall be above only and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, ……

” Courage brother, do not stumble” presupposes that there are obstacles in your way that may cause you to loose balance ( stumble) and fall. But be bold and press on as a good soldier or ambassador of Christ.

The verse above says the best way to go through life with all it’s challenges and succeed is to obey God’s commands.

Scripture also says in Proverbs 3:5-6 that

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And lean not on your own understanding
In all your ways
Acknowledge Him
And He will direct your path

Simply put, seek God’s approval first in all you do and it will be well with you.

Revelations 2:10

…..be thou faithful unto death and I will give the crown of life.

This verse from the new testament sounds a bit morbid. But all it is trying to say is God requires complete faithfulness and obedience from His own

Accept the gift of salvation today ( Romans 10:9-10) and dedicate your life to serving Him and you will be greatly rewarded

God be with you

Suggestions for success
1. Pray for grace and strength to obey God’s commands always.

Song for meditation

Let this hymn be your confession and prayer

Courage brother
Do not stumble
Though thy path be dark as night
There’s a star to guide the humble
Trust in God and do the right

Simple rule and safest guiding,
Inward peace and inward might
Star upon our path abiding
Trust in God and do the right

Abridge version in french

Bon courage, mon frere
Ne pas trebuchet
Avoir confiance en Dieu
Faites toujours
Les desirs de Dieu
Amen
