It is used to describe the physical act of stumbling or losing balance, as well as the spiritual state of doubt or lack of faith.<br><br><b>Physical Staggering:</b><br><br>In a literal sense, "stagger" is used to describe the physical act of stumbling or losing one's balance. This can be due to intoxication, weakness, or exhaustion. For example, in <a href="/isaiah/29-9.htm">Isaiah 29:9</a> , the prophet describes a state of spiritual blindness and confusion among the people: "Stop and be astonished; blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not from strong drink." Here, the physical act of staggering is used metaphorically to describe a deeper spiritual disorientation.<br><br><b>Spiritual Staggering:</b><br><br>Spiritually, "stagger" is often used to describe a lack of faith or trust in God's promises. In <a href="/romans/4-20.htm">Romans 4:20</a> , the Apostle Paul speaks of Abraham's unwavering faith: "Yet he did not waver through disbelief in the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God." The term "waver" here is akin to staggering, indicating a spiritual steadiness and confidence in God's word.<br><br><b>Prophetic Imagery:</b><br><br>The prophets frequently use the imagery of staggering to depict the judgment and disobedience of Israel. In <a href="/isaiah/51-17.htm">Isaiah 51:17</a> , the prophet calls Jerusalem to awaken from its spiritual stupor: "Awake, awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the hand of the LORD the cup of His wrath, you who have drained to its dregs the goblet that makes men stagger." This passage uses the imagery of staggering to illustrate the consequences of divine judgment and the need for repentance.<br><br><b>Moral and Ethical Implications:</b><br><br>Staggering can also imply moral and ethical instability. In <a href="/psalms/107-27.htm">Psalm 107:27</a> , the psalmist describes those who are at their wits' end: "They reeled and staggered like drunkards, and all their skill was useless." This verse highlights the futility of human efforts without divine guidance, emphasizing the need for reliance on God.<br><br><b>Faith and Assurance:</b><br><br>Conversely, the absence of staggering is associated with faith and assurance in God's promises. In <a href="/hebrews/10-23.htm">Hebrews 10:23</a> , believers are encouraged to hold fast to their hope: "Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful." This steadfastness contrasts with the notion of staggering, underscoring the importance of unwavering faith.<br><br>In summary, the concept of staggering in the Bible serves as a powerful metaphor for both physical and spiritual instability. It calls believers to examine their faith, trust in God's promises, and seek spiritual steadiness through reliance on divine guidance.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
