Though He Fall

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. Psalm 37:24

Falling is a part of life. It's a part of your spiritual life as much as it is a part of your physical life. When you were learning to walk, you fell. A lot. As you mature spiritually, you'll fall, too. A lot. The more active you are, the more you move around and walk and run, the higher the probability you'll fall even to this day. Guess what? If you're actually doing anything spiritually--walking, running, working, growing--you're still going to fall. It doesn't matter how strong a Christian you are, you WILL fall. It's a part of it. But it doesn't end with the fall. You can get back up and keep going. And not only that, there's Someone there to help you up. God isn't standing over you berating your failure. He isn't turning His back in disgust. He isn't kicking you while you're down. He's there extending His own hand to help you back to your feet and making sure you never fall too far or too hard. You're going to fall. That doesn't have to be the end of the chapter, though.
