Everyone has at one point in life fallen down and it wasn’t a nice experience honestly. If you were lucky enough, you never hurt yourself or broke any part of your body.You either looked around to see whether anybody saw you and dusted off the clothes and went on your way.
What if you fell down and decided to remain there and felt sorry for yourself waiting and hoping for someone to come and comfort you? That would be a very disappointing and humiliating experience to undergo.
God’s Word has a remedy for those of us who feel have fallen down and don’t know what next. Solomon the wisest man who ever lived wrote down these very encouraging words “For a righteous man fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity”(Proverbs 24:16).
So here is the point that any man or woman who has a ‘right standing’ with God or to paraphrase it who has a good relationship with God, though he or she may fall from time to time because we are still human flesh(does not mean an excuse to sin),will still rise again because God who is our Father and uplifter will enable him or her to rise again.We could be cast down but that does not mean we are out, but we bounce back because our God cheers us up and gives us the strength to rise again.
So as the year comes to an end,how did you perform this year? You can’t keep feeling sorry for yourself and stay down there as if your God is defeated to help you.
“Rise up and shake off the dust” and face the New year with a new zeal and determination with your focus on God who is the winner.!!
