Devotion

Transferrable Strength
(Proverbs 24:16) ...for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

As long as God allows you to get up from whatever it is that causes you to trip, stumble, and falll - keep getting back up on your feet! Keep getting back up in your faith! When you work at a particular goal, and after more times than not you continue to miss your mark terribly - get right back up, reboot, and start again. Why? Because it is only when you give up that you fail yourself. Getting up is your way of saying that you are not one to be defeated. You are a contender - a conqueror! It is possible that the strength you gain in getting up over and over again is meant to benefit you in some other area of your life. Don't see with tunnel vision. Consider a much broader picture. Have persistent faith in whatever you do so that your transferrable strength will be ready for what God has planned for you!
