While in school there were times when I needed to re-take a test simply because I didn’t get it right the first time. As an adult and a child of God, I see it’s very much the same now as it was in my younger years.
For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity. Proverbs 24:16
Proverbs 24:16 (a) explains when a righteous person makes a mistake, through Christ; he has an opportunity to begin again. But notice it says a righteous person, someone in right standings with God, can have a “do over.” We all have challenges and things that come up against us that cause us to sometimes want to get into a funk. I like to say, it’s okay to have a moment, but don’t allow it to last all day. Wallowing in it can lead to depression. When the enemy taunts you, remind him of who you are and then remind him of his end!
When life causes you to fall short know that you serve a God of “another chance.” One who knows your heart and will allow you a “do over!”
