“Everything that is done in the world is done
by hope” (Martin Luther)
Proverbs 24:16
says, “No
matter how often an honest man falls, he always get up again” (TEV). The first person to invent the wheel
only discovered what God had already designed, for the Lord created things in
circles. The stars and planets are round, they move in orbital circuits, and
life, as a result, moves in cycles. Every one hundred years, we have a new
century; every 24 hours we have a new day; every 60 minutes we have a new hour.
God created the potential for new beginnings into the very design of our
universe.
And for good
reason, every hero of Scripture needed new beginnings: Adam and Eve after they
ate the forbidden fruit; Moses after he killed the Egyptian; David after his adulterous
relationship; Elijah after an emotional breakdown in the desert; the disciples
after Good Friday… And maybe you.
In Christ, no matter how often an honest man falls,
he always gets up again
THINK
BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.
