Get Back Up

• ---

  “The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.” Psalm 37:23-24

Stumbling is not one of my most favourite things in the world. It’s embarrassing and may even hurt. Yet stumbling is something we all experience at one time or the other. But what do we do when it happens?

Imagine this. You’re walking home and you trip and fall over a random object on the sidewalk. You scraped your knee and it hurt a little. And the kids walking home from school behind you saw you trip and giggled amongst themselves – that was kind of embarrassing. But will you go all the way back from where you came and start again from the beginning? Or will you just sit and sulk on the curb, refusing to take another step at the thought of it happening again? Of course not! That would just be ridiculous!

So is it on our walk with the Lord. Satan would love nothing more than for us to go sulk in a corner somewhere and dwell on our disappointment in ourselves or our humiliation and fear that it might happen again.

But the Lord wants us to rise up, dust off the dirt and move forward for His Kingdom!

Yes, we may stumble but we will not be cast down! The Lord has upheld us and He always will. So get back up, continue to press through and remind yourself once again the victory was already won for you 2000 years ago! Praise The Lord!
