“When Life pushes you down, get back up again.” A very famous saying that most don't realize is easier said than done. Life won't actually push us down, but Satan will use things life brings to knock us down. As you grow smarter, you grow dumber. When you are born, you are only scared of loud noises and falling, then you learn the rest. As a kid, you will try things that will hurt you, run into a wall, bother a wasp, and in my personal experience, climb a dresser with glass on it. In most cases, it will be painful, but it won't become a fear. When the dresser fell, the glass shattered everywhere before I hit the ground. I had to get the glass removed at the hospital while being awake. Now when I shatter a glass, I clean it up instead of being too terrified to touch it. As we grow older and smarter, we get scared that life will knock us down, or knock us down again in the same way. What if the roller coaster derails and injures me? What if the ball breaks my nose again? But we must trust in God to take care of us in these temporary pains. We forget our pain when it is gone, but we remember how we loved it when it left. Today's encouraging word comes from Matthew 4:24 “News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them.” When Life knocks you down, get back up, and hit it with what it hit you with.
