Now this photo shows a true Stumbling Block. Nothing can get around this one! It is way more than "loose gravel".
In every day life we can have Stumbling Blocks just as HUGE even though no one can see them.
These Stumbling Blocks are usually smooth talking, pernicious lies, false doctrine, savvy talking...
Matthew 18:1-7 "At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said,
“Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
And He [Jesus] called a child to Himself and set him among them, and said,
“Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
So whoever will humble himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoever receives one such child in My name, receives Me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea.
“Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks!
For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to the person through whom the stumbling block comes!"
*Beware the person, family or friend or foe, who tells you one thing when God's Word always says the right things.*
Luke 17:2 "Now He [Jesus] said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to one through whom they come!
It is better for him if a millstone is hung around his neck and he is thrown into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to sin."
*There is always safety in God's Word*

Jill,
This picture surely has a spiritual lesson, which you so aptly pointed out! The devil says, “Just a little....”, but the end is destruction and death. Amen to the safety of God’s Word!

Proverbs 14:12
"There is a way which seems right to a person, but its end is the way of death."
Thank you, Kathryn!
Very wise counsel, Kathryn & Jill!
