Press toward the mark

Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

We need to do what that verse says. We need to leave those things which are behind us. Even if we have fallen 7 times we need to just get right back up again and reach for the prize. Isn't it great that God is merciful and forgives us!

Psalms 26:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

Psalms 103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

Good post, Erika. It is great to know that each time we fail God is merciful and will forgive!
