“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.” Proverbs 24:16 NLT
We would be foolish to believe that we will not have trials and difficulties in this life. God in His wisdom has allowed for them, not to be defeated, but for us to overcome. And when we do, to be that much stronger.
The message for us is clear from many perspectives.

God has created you for a purpose, this week persevere in what He has called you to.
