When the righteous suffer misfortune, they will rise again, no matter how many times they must do it. But when the wicked fall, they stay down, not having the ability to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking around the world, wicked people seem to prevail. But they never do. The truth always comes out; sometimes, it takes longer than others, but lies never stand against the test of time. Scripture continues to prove truthful, even after centuries of people trying to disprove it. Standing on the rock of Jesus gives us a firm foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI don\u2019t pray for a win; I ask God to give me the strength to do my best.\u201d Coco Gauff, U.S. Open Women\u2019s Singles Champion 2023<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus gives His followers the strength to do their best, persevere during tough times, and get back up when they fall.
