Get back up again!

We all go through shortcomings, setbacks and failures. However, according to Proverbs 24:16, even though the righteous fall or trip, they will get up again. So it is not whether or not you mess up. It is not whether or not you fail. It is not whether or not you blow it. The key thing is to get back up. Go to the Father and ask for forgiveness and strength, and keep it moving. There is grace in God’s presence for you today. Remember, it is not God who will tell you “well, you blew it so you are worthless.” That is the enemy of our souls speaking. God says: “My son/daughter, I give you the strength to get back up. Even if you fall seven times, I give you the grace and strength to stand tall and overcome that which the enemy put in your path in order to trip you. Confide in me; I have overcome the world!” You are more than a conqueror through Christ who strengthens you! (Romans 8:37)

Proverbs 24:16 (NLT) The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.

My actions don’t hurt anyone else……think again!

Some people say “my mistakes and sins are my business. I’m not hurting anyone else.” That couldn’t be further from the truth. Our actions impact and affect others. Romans 5:17 says through one man death reigned. Adam’s actions have affected us all. The same verse however lets us know that the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ blesses us with an abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. He also causes us to reign in life. Our actions, decisions, mistakes and words can help others, or cause others to stumble. It’s time to take responsibility for your life and actions. Others are depending on you!

Romans 5:17 “For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.”
