I’ve Fallen and I Can Get Up

The righteous falls seven times and rises again.

-Proverbs 24:16

What makes a Christian is not sinlessness and success in all we do. It is that when we fall, we rise again. This is the story of the believer: we stumble and fall at many times and in many ways, but God is not done with us. So we get back up and press forward. It is our destiny to rely on the helping power of Christ to raise us up again and again. And when we finally fall in death, even then we will rise again, like he did.
