I watched a video of a father helping to encourage his daughter to walk. When she would fall, he’d lift her back up and encourage her again. When she did it, he celebrated. I see God, as our Father, constantly encouraging us on our faith walk. When we fall, He lifts us back up. When we succeed, He celebrates. He does this however many times. Just as the little girl’s father did for her. Friend, may we not be discouraged in our faith walk, but be encouraged by God, who walks beside us. We may fall, but He will always help us back up. I’m sure that little girl will be running in her father’s arms in no time. Just as I’m certain, if we keep getting back up and continue on our faith walk, we will someday be able to run in our Father’s arms.

Psalm 37:23-24 NIV

The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
