Jer. 8:4 say to them ,this is what the lord says ,when men fall down,do they get up?,when a man turns away ,does he not return?
Walking to school during our tender age came with fascinating events especially during rainy seasons. Skidding on wet muddy earth was the order of the day. This came with constant falling accompanied by rolling down the slope. What would happen if since the day of the fall we purposed to remain there till today? No schooling is needed to know that one needs to get up after a fall. Jeremiah had the same concern for Israel. After the fall ,getting up was the next expected course of action.
Getting up is an antidote for that fallen business, career, marriage, sickness, failed mission, lost job and to those fallen into sin. Remaining at the point of fall adds no value ,wastes time and is clinging to devil’s deceit.
As we used to do after a fall in those old days, We can still do the same today – Get up! Life must go on.
