Get Back Up
– Proverbs 24:16, The godly man may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
– This book is a collection of wise words and universal truths given to us by King Solomon.
– Proverbs 1:2, Their purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise.
– This proverb is pointing out that when you live by God’s precepts, you will endure, and have new strength. BUT if you do not, life will beat you down and keep you there.
– Think of an athlete: What stops them from getting back up? Pain, injury, self-doubt…
– Spiritually and emotionally, I believe it works the same way.
– Psychologists say that we are only born with 2 fears: Falling, and Loud Noises. (Self-protection.)
– All other fears are learned, and most in order to avoid pain and injury. (Self-protection also.)
– Fear of FAILURE, & looking FOOLISH are ones that will keep us from “getting back up”.
– Example: I think this is where the “fear of public speaking” comes in. (To avoid the pain of ridicule by our peers.) This stops us from sharing the gospel!
– These fears cause us to commit sins of omission.
– You have to get over your fear of looking foolish if you are going to step out in faith, and be the son or daughter God has created you to be.
Its okay to fail.
– “The godly man may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.”
– The scriptures record 7 times where the Disciple Peter fails during his time with Jesus. I want to focus on a couple of them:
– Looking through Matthew 26:36-75 alone we see…
– 1st: Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him to pray before being crucified. They ALL fell asleep! They failed to “keep watch”. They didn’t protect Jesus. “For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” (All of them went on to become heroes of the faith later.)
– 2nd: Armed men lead by Judas “grabbed Jesus and arrested him.” Peter cuts off the ear. After receiving rebuke for not protecting Jesus in the garden, now he is being rebuked again for trying to protect him from arrest. (This was probably a little confusing…)
– 3rd: All the disciples deserted Jesus, but verse 58 says, “Meanwhile, Peter followed him at a distance and came to the high priest’s courtyard. He went in and sat with the guards and waited to see how it would all end.” (Peter, the only one close enough to deny Jesus.)
– All the disciples failed Jesus at one point or another, but why is scripture focused on mostly Peter’s failures?
– Peter always took action and pushed forward. Where was everyone else? Running away, or standing by watching? I don’t know because scripture doesn’t say what they did!
– You won’t fail if you don’t try. But, this is the sin of omission, and sin is failure.
– Your Pastors would much rather see you push forward, and have to pull you back in. Than for you to do nothing, fearing failure, and have to pull you along.
– I don’t think Jesus was mad at Peter. I think he loved it, and wished they were all like that!
– Don’t wait for the Pastor to ask you to serve! Get involved,
