October 29, 2017 - - Proverbs 24:16 Glory and Failure

For a righteous man may fall seven times

And rise again,

But the wicked shall fall by calamity.

Proverbs 24:16 NKJV

“If our expectations, if our fondest prayers and dreams, are not realized,” he said, “then we should all bear in mind that the greatest glory of living lies not in never falling but in rising every time you fall.”

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, 1998 during visit to the United States

LORD of all Glory and Victory, give me the strength of Your Holy Spirit

so that in Jesus Christ I will rise up again and again.

Let my prayer and my dream be that Jesus shines through me.

Let me decrease and Jesus increase. Amen.
