Get Back Up
When a giraffe is born, he tumbles ten feet to the
ground, landing on his back. Within seconds, he rolls over and
stands, struggling with those tall, untried legs.
The mother giraffe positions herself directly over
her newborn, swings her leg outward and kicks that baby, sending it
sprawling! If it doesn't get up, she kicks it again. If it
grows tired, she kicks it again to stimulate its efforts to stand.
Each time the baby giraffe manages to get its feet, the mother kicks it
once again.
Now, this may seem cruel to you, but there is a
reason for the mother's behavior. She is simply preparing the baby
for survival, because that little giraffe must learn to get up quickly
and run with the herd when danger comes- otherwise he will not survive!
As Christians, we need to learn the same lesson that
baby giraffes learn: when life kicks you down, you must get back
up. You must never give up! Our soul's survival depends upon
our ability to persevere. James says, "Blessed is the man that
endureth temptation; for when he is tired, he shall receive the crown of
life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him." (James
1:12).
When things go wrong, Satan would love nothing better
than for you to throw in the towel and give up on faith, God Christ and
the church. That's his goal - to get you to quit short of the goal
of salvation. He wants you to become so frustrated that you will
simply quit. don't let him get to you.
When life knocks you down - get back up!
