Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; when I fall, I will arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me.

Micah 7:8 (NKJV)

Dr. Ed Cole stated, “God never fails; God never quits; God never ends anything on a negative; because God is faithful.” Whatever condition we are in, the Lord is always there to pick us up. One of the devil’s traps we need to avoid is self-pity. We all make bad decisions, but the worst decision we can make is to live in condemnation. Feeling sorry for ourselves won’t change anything. Every failure is simply the opportunity to learn to trust God. He is committed to your success and won’t give up on you…ever.
