Get Up Again


Life is full of things that try to push us down. We all face disappointments and setbacks. Maybe you received some bad news about your health, lost your job or perhaps a relationship didn’t work out. That was a setback. It’s easy to get discouraged or lose your enthusiasm or even be tempted to just settle where you are. Take heart though!

The bible says, “A righteous person may fall seven times, but they get up again.” If we’re going to see God’s best, we have to have a “get up again” mentality. That means when you get knocked down, you don’t stay down. You get back up again!

Remember, as a believer in Jesus, the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives on the inside of you. There is no challenge too difficult, no obstacle too high, no sickness, no disappointment, no person, nothing that can keep you from your God-given destiny.

Staying down is not what God’s people are meant to do. If you’re down right now, know that it’s temporary. No force on or under the earth can KEEP you down. If you stay in faith God will turn what was meant to be a stumbling block into a stepping stone, and you’ll come out stronger, wiser, and better off than had it not happened at all.
