The hardest failure isn't before you follow Jesus - it's after. If you've stumbled and wondered whether you're back at square one, this devotional is for you.

*Psalm 37:23-24 says:* "The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand."

Stumbling isn't falling. You're still on the path. You're still held. One mistake doesn't undo your walk with God. In this devotional, we'll explore what the Bible says about stumbling after you've started walking with Jesus - and why it doesn't mean starting over.
