Proverbs 24:16 -- On Rising Up

"For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief."
Proverbs 24:16


This verse seems to be illustrative of the difference between the wicked and the righteous.  So often we think that good people are that way inherently, or that they are somehow more powerful or more pure.

The truth is, good people just keep trying where the wicked decide to give up.  God has room to work with us when we are persistent and committed.  He can turn failure into success for any of us if we give him enough opportunities. :)

Today, let's remember to get back up, every time.  Let's be committed to solving our problems and loving our neighbors in the Lord's way.
