Will You Get Up After You Mess Up

Most of us have been in a strange town and made a wrong turn, then we had to turn around so that we could go get on the right path. When this happens we generally do not think much of it unless we are in a time crunch because all it cost us was a little time, a little gas, and maybe some humility if someone was with us.

We have all made MISTAKES in life! Maybe I am being to nice - we have all sinned and probably will again. The question is CAN YOU GET UP AFTER YOU MESS UP?

In Josuha 7 which is after Joshua 6 (obviously) but I point this out because the walls of  Jericho falling was such a huge victory. Then in ch 7 we see that Joshua sent the JV army to fight the little battle of Ai and they got their face bashed in due to HIDDEN SIN. Which really there is not such a thing as HIDDEN SIN because it will always catch up with you.

Joshus 7:8-10

God told Joshua to get up and quit groveling!

Ok, you may have made a MISTAKE. . . . REPENT (face it) then get up and go on to great victories.

Joshua (as a leader) and the nation of Israel had to face their mess up, then deal with it. When you get up you qualify for more miracles in your life. Check out the SUN STANDING STILL in Joshua 10:8-14. WOW!! Now that is a MIRACLE.

We are only disqualified if we quit. NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER STOP! GIVE UP THAT WHICH IS STOPPING YOU THEN GET ON WITH & GO FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT MIRACLE.
