What Are You Waiting For?


“though he may stumble, he will not fall,

for the LORD upholds him with his hand.”

Psalm 37:24





It’s too late!

That is a lie the enemy keeps in his arsenal and pulls out regularly.

Who is his target?

Those who may have, in their own opinion, fallen down one too many times.

Don’t let him get you in his crosshairs with that untruth.

As we were reminded this past Sunday, God is indeed the God of the second chance.

The power of His grace and His redemptive work reaches out to you the second and third and fourth...and ten thousandth time.

God doesn’t rejoice when you fail.

He rejoices when you return.

Remember the story of the Prodigal Son?

Have you stumbled, have you walked away, have you turned your back on God?

He is ready, with open arms, to receive you back.

Maybe you’ve been slow in exercising the gifts or stepping into the calling He has placed on your life?

You are not at a place where you cannot commit to getting back in the race and taking up the mantle prepared for you.

God is for you, He delights in your return or in your renewed commitment.

What are you waiting for?



Praying the words of this Toby Mac song encourage you to Get Back Up!
