Proverbs 24:16 ‘For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.’
DAILY READING; Mark 16, 1 Kings 12, Hosea 14
When World War II ended in May 1945, it left many Jews devastated.
When Allied troops entered the concentration camps, they discovered piles of dead bodies and human ashes—testimony to Nazi mass murder. Soldiers also found thousands of Jewish survivors suffering from starvation and disease.
After being liberated, many of these Jewish survivors feared to return to their former homes because of the antisemitism (hatred of Jews) that still persisted in parts of Europe.. Some of them who eventually returned home lived in fear of their lives because of pogroms (violent anti-Jewish riots).
For these survivors, the prospect of rebuilding their lives was daunting because their Jewish communities had been scattered. In some parts of Europe entire Jewish communities had been wiped out in the holocaust.
Broken, homeless and devastated it indeed seemed these Jews had come to the end of the road.
However, despite their tragedy, they held on to God’s promises of restoration in the Bible.
Based on this, many began to migrate back to their ancient homeland in Palestine.
On their return an incredible miracle of restoration began to take place. Through agricultural innovations, they turned sandy desert lands into a blossoming fruitful land, which has come to be known today, as the modern nation of Israel.
Through God’s help, the Jews arose from their ashes to be counted among the top nations of the world today.
Indeed it is never over until God says so.
It doesn’t matter how terrible the setbacks you may face, through God’s help you can always bounce back better and stronger. Through divine assistance, you can overcome every resistance and recover whatever the enemy tried to steal from you. .
When the Amalekites burned down the home of King David and his men and took their families captive, David did something remarkable; in the midst of the tragedy, he sought the face of God.
In obedience to God’s instruction, David and his men pursued after the enemy and eventually recovered all.
Likewise, we can always recover every lost ground, by doing what David did.
No matter how discouraging the situation, we should always strengthen ourselves in the Lord and follow His Word.
In every circumstance, keep trusting God’s Word and never lose hope.
A knock down, only becomes a knock out, if you stay down and refuse to get up.
Proverbs 24:16 says that though the righteous may fall seven times, yet they will rise again.
You can rise better and greater from any situation.
Today, no matter what difficulties you may face in your health, finance or relationships, be assured that through Christ, you can triumph always and have complete recovery.
Despite the setbacks, as you hold on to faith in God’s Word, you are going to see an amazing turnaround. In the place of dryness, God will cause you to be fruitful. In the place of emptiness, your cup will surely run over with abundant blessings.
PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to pay the price of spending quality time in Your Word so that my faith can be strengthened to recover every lost ground. I thank You Lord for indeed exceeding all my expectations in this season in Jesus Name.
