Friday, September 5

Jehovah supports all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down.—Ps. 145:14.

 

Unfortunately, no matter how motivated or disciplined we are, we may still have setbacks. For example, “unexpected events” may rob us of the time we need to work on our goal. (Eccl. 9:11) We may face a difficulty that leaves us feeling discouraged and with little strength. (Prov. 24:10) Our imperfect flesh may cause us to act in a way that does not help us with our goal. (Rom. 7:23) Or we may just feel tired. (Matt. 26:43) What can help us to overcome a setback or a bad day? Remember that a setback does not mean you have failed. The Bible says that we may repeatedly experience problems or difficulties. However, it also makes clear that we can get up again. Yes, by moving forward despite a setback, you prove to Jehovah that you want to please him. How happy Jehovah must be when he sees you continuing to strive for your goal! w23.05 30 ¶14-15

When setbacks come — and they will — don’t measure yourself by how many times you’ve stumbled. Measure yourself by how many times you’ve gotten back up. Every rise, every step forward, tells Jehovah that your loyalty is stronger than your fall.
