Today’s Word from God’s Word-Rise

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Rise.

One definition of rise is to “stand up.” Another definition is to “get up after a fall”. When it comes to the troubles and temptations that we face, Jesus is able to help us to stand by faith. But if we are weak and stumble on our journey of faith, God’s helping hand is available to help us rise again.

Peter was walking on water for a while. Then, he took his eyes off Jesus, and started to sink. But Jesus reached out His hand to save Peter and pull him out of the water. When we lose our focus point, Jesus is there to pick us up and help us to refocus.

Proverbs 24:16 says, “Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.”  The righteous hand of Jesus is our source of strength to raise us up after a fall.
