RISE AGAIN
Albert
Einstein was a slow learner as a child and didn’t talk until he was three. But
as he matured and came into his own he said, "It's not that I'm so smart,
it's just that I stay with problems longer." He may have understated his
intelligence, but he does so to make a point: For more than any other reason,
he was successful because he was persistent.
Have you fallen down?
Has it happened more than once? If you're like me, you might be ready to throw
in the towel during these times and call it quits. But remember this: if a goal
is worth having it’s worth giving it another try, it's worth 10, 20 or even 100
more. Take another serious and sober look at the dream God has placed in your
heart. Then rise up, and try again.
I'm
no Albert Einstein, but I can also say that the success I have experienced can
be attributed to this same principle.
Solomon
said, "For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again."
(Proverbs 24:16)
When
I'm missing the mark in my life — spiritually, financially, or in my
relationships — I have to remind myself several times a day that the difference
between my being a wise man and a fool ... the difference between my being
righteous and unrighteous ... is determined by my willingness to get up and
keep going.
