Getting Up When You Fall

This past week I was inspired by the story of Nick Vujicic, a young man that God is using to inspire others to not let their circumstances keep them from rising to their God given potential.

What makes his story unique is the fact that Nick was born with no limbs. It was at a point of great hopelessness and dispair even to the point when he considered suicide, that God encouraged him to focus on what he had not on what he did not have.

I want to encourage you to not let anything keep you down. Whether it's fear, discouragement, past defeats, addictions, disappointments, circumstances, entangling sins, wrong relationships, bitterness....the list is long.

All of these and more can cause you to stumble and fall, but with Christ you can overcome. Your steps can be firm. You can rise to your potential. You can be everything God intended you to be.

Philippians 4:13 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.'



'The lord delights in the way of the man whose steps he has made firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.' Psalm 37:23,24

Encourage someone this week.
