Psalm begins with its conclusion… Praise for the goodness of God. This first thought is connected to the last thought of the Psalm and where the Psalmist determines to praise God or declare His works. So you see the Psalmist state of mind at the time he writes is that of praise and the determination to praise the goodness of God. This is where he has come. Not where he has been. He has been in a mighty bout with temptation. Out of that temptation this song rises. I want to point out the title. How to almost fall. This is not a cautionary message. It is truly focused on helping the person who is on the edge of falling or buckling under temptation. And the reason for the title is that I am not this morning going to offer you the highest and grandest strategy for addressing temptation. I am not going to offer you some glorious stand that you can take that causes you to fly above opposition and temptation. I will do that next week. But this week am going to suggest to you the bare minimum point at which you can begin to regain your balance to stand against the press to give up and in to the temptations you may face.
