Word of the Day

You can rise again.

“For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again.…” – Proverbs 24:16.
What do you do when the deal you hoped for falls through, when the love of your life walks out and slams the door, when the house of your dreams burns down and you don’t have insurance, when the policeman comes to your door and tells you your child is in jail for selling cocaine or even worse? What do you do when your dreams fall apart and there’s no way to put them back together again?
 
The natural response after we lose a job, we lose a loved one or some bad thing happens in our life is to
become angry with God or even to turn away from Him. Many, many have chosen that response. But the
just person rises up again. When things are falling apart around us we must remember God’s love never fails and Jesus continued on even to and through the cross. Jesus rose from the dead, triumphant!
 
When our dreams fall apart we need to hold onto God’s love and believe that no matter what this old world may throw at us things will work out for the very best for us in the eternal end. The just man may fall, may encounter obstacles, may experience tragedies but the just man through Christ will rise again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again (Seven is a number symbolizing perfection which would mean that no matter how many times a just man falls he will rise again.).
