Today's Scripture
“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to
overthrow the wicked.”
Proverbs 24:16
GET UP AND GOD UP!
A Spiritual or a physical knockdown can change your life. Sometimes we are
living life according to our own plans and desires, thinking we are serving
God, but we really need spiritual knockout to get on the right path.
Saul who was later known as Paul was knocked down by the power of God on
his way to Damascus. Sometimes we need a spiritual knockdown, but we also
need to get up. He picked himself up: Saul did not lay there pitying himself or
his wounds, he got up. When you ve been knocked down, do you know how to
get back up again? As human beings, we are all going to feel defeated at some
point in our lives. But as followers of Jesus, we don t have to stay there. Learn
how to persevere with the help of the Holy Spirit.
There are no stains on the pages of tomorrow. You can have a fresh start
today! Maybe you ve failed who hasn t? Pick up the broken pieces, and bring
them to the Lord. Pick up the broken pieces, trust in His Holy Word. He will
put you back together, and make your life complete. Just lay the broken pieces
at the Savior s feet.
Remember, as a believer in Jesus, the same power that raised Christ from the
dead lives on the inside of you. There is no challenge too dif cult, no obstacle
too high, no sickness, no disappointment, no person, nothing that can keep
you from your God-given destiny. If you stay in faith, then God will turn what
was meant to be a stumbling block into a stepping stone, and you ll move
forward in strength, full of faith and victory!
