Keep Getting Up

"The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand." (Psalm 37:23-24)

Much like the first steps of a baby, the Christian life is a struggle and walking with the Lord can often times feel like a slow crawl if anything at all. We began to think, "Why am I still struggling with these same sins?" and doubt begins to take hold of our hearts. We start to see more of our weakness, and less of God's greatness and slowly our sins become more powerful than God's grace in our life.

What was the prophet Micah's response when Satan tempted him into this way of thinking?

 "Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light." (Micah 7:8)

Keep getting up. He will uphold you with His mighty hand and He will finish what He started (Phil. 1:6). What God purposes and promises, He always performs. Don't give up. Keep pressing in. Never stop getting up. Jesus died and he rose for you. So rise.
