“…for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again!” Proverbs 24:16

I love this verse because it shows us the humanity of who we really are. Nobody is perfect. Nobody is going to stand on their two feet their entire life and not make one mistake. God says it clearly in this verse, ‘a righteous man FALLS.’ Not maybe will fall or if he didn’t read his bible will fall. No he falls. But God doesn’t end it there that’s what really makes this verse. The righteous man RISES AGAIN (he gets back up). He doesn’t stay down worrying why and what if. No! He gets back up because he knows that God will be there to get him through the next season. God doesn’t remember the last time you sinned or messed up. He remembers the time you got back up and said, ‘I put my trust in you…Help?’:)

Is there something in your life that has caused you to fall? What’s keeping you down? RISE UP (get back up)!
