Getting Up Again
"For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again."Proverbs 24:16
Reflection
Making mistakes is not the end. The Bible says the righteous falls seven times and gets up seven times! The difference is not never falling — it is always rising.
Prayer
Lord, when I fail, give me courage to get up again. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What do you do after you make a mistake?
- Is falling the end of the story?
- Who helps you get back up?
5-minute activity
Make a roly-poly toy: put a small weight like a coin in the bottom of a plastic egg or ball of clay. Push it over and watch it pop back up. Talk about getting up again. Read Proverbs 24:16.
