...for the righteous falls
seven times
and rises again,
but the wicked stumble
in times of calamity.
Proverbs 24. 16
(God does not promise
we will not trip,
but He is still with us,
even then.
We do not pick up ourselves
by our own bootstraps,
but God lifts us
back on our feet
and redeems our fall.
Others are constantly watching,
not to see if we are perfect,
but how we respond
when life is not.
They yearn to know
that God is real
and to see His mercy.)
O LORD,
Wherever You place us today,
in every opportunity,
may our lives bring You glory,
even in unlikely situations
and among unexpected people.
May we be found in You
and live in such a way
that our choices and responses
take others by surprise,
if not for You.
Bring Your joy
even to the hard stuff.
