Scripture: Proverbs 24:16-For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. (King James Version)
Devotional: A righteous person can make so many mistakes but knows how to get back up and stay standing. Stop falling into things that you already overcame. It’s time to go higher and move forward. People need to see your gifting. Don’t hide it. Don’t hide it from those close to you and those around the world. If God called you to the nations, get up and go do what you need to do. Don’t let the devil stop you from doing so. His demons will not stop until you’re destroyed so you shouldn’t stop giving God your best because of that. It should be a sign to keep pressing in and stop falling into the same mistakes all over and over again. The same cycles will not reach new heights in Christ Jesus! You can’t change the past but you can change your future!
Prayer: Father God, I ask that you will help me to continue to stand according to your grace and truth. Help me to continue walking in your steadfast love. Help us all to continue to not fall into the same exact things you brought us out of. Whether it’s a bad influence through someone that has bad habits, help me to be the light in that person’s life so they can come to a knowledge of your truth as much as you brought me this far spiritually is for a reason. You know what every one of us needs. Whenever we see a righteous person fall, help us not judge but encourage them to repent (turn away from the mistake), learn from it, and restore them to their purpose because if it was us in that position, we would want the same thing to occur. Sometimes as humans, we tend to make wrong choices by mistake without knowing the consequences of them. I plead that you’ll help us become more like Jesus.
In Jesus’s name, I pray, amen.
