DAY 96

Though They Fall Seven Times, They Rise

Proverbs 24:16
기원전 10~6세기 편집 (히브리 지혜문학)
ORIGINAL
כִּי שֶׁבַע יִפּוֹל צַדִּיק וָקָם
📜 THE VERSE

For the upright fall seven times and rise again, but staying down is the true fall.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

Do I feel shame for falling, or for not getting back up?

📝Reflection

Falling is no shame. Staying down where you fell is the real failure. This verse says plainly that even the upright fall seven times. The difference lies not in never falling but in rising again. It is exactly the saying: fall seven times, rise eight. Today's failure is not the end of the story but the opening of the scene where you stand back up.

From one thing you fell at lately, take one very small first step back up today.
