The Lord upholds all who fall, and raises up all who are
bowed down. Psalm 145:14
Have you ever fallen in front of a crowd? People are quick
to offer their help to get you on your feet, but for you it’s quite embarrassing
and you are quick to get back up without anyone’s assistance. Can you relate?
Our journey with the Lord can be quite similar. We try to
live right, do right, but sometimes we fall either by sinning or partaking in
something foolish. The guilt and shame knock you down. You try hard to get back
up, but Satan is there to quickly remind
you of your weaknesses and says…you aren’t a good person and discourages you
from getting back up.
God never intended for you to stay down and feel defeated.
By His loving grace, you are saved and forgiven. When you sin, Jesus is right
there with His hand, ready to steady you back up on your feet and wash away the
muck of your sinful past and foolish actions. He never once reminds you of your
past as Psalm 103:12 says….”As far as the east is from the west, So far has He
removed our transgressions from us.” So if you battle your past, just know its
Satan whispering lies to you, again. ☹ Don’t listen to
him, he is worthless and lost the battle.
Satan’s number 1 goal is to knock down every Child of God. A
soldier is no good when he is down. But, through Jesus Christ, you can stand up
firmly and keep your journey moving forward as you battle the sins and
challenges of life. Trust in the Lord with every step and have confidence in
knowing He is there to help you, sustain you and keep you marching forward
towards Heaven! Keep on trucking! God bless!
