| Our enemy, Satan, is always trying to trip us up so that we stumble and fall. He is clever and powerful, and often he may succeed in getting us down and discouraged. But we don’t have to stay down. There is always the resource and power of prayer. Have you ever noticed that, when you go to get up off the ground, you invariably start with a kneeling position? Just so, when we fall spiritually we can begin to rise by being on our knees. If you feel like you have hit bottom, look to the Lord, and remember that He is “able to keep you from falling” (Jude 24), and, when you do fall, He is able to lift you up again. The Psalm writer said, “Thou hast delivered…my feet from falling” (Psalm 116:8). |
