16 Though a righteous person falls seven times,
he will get up,
but the wicked will stumble into ruin. (Proverbs 24:16 CSB)

My dad always said, “The measure of a man is not how many times he gets knocked down, it’s how many times he gets up.”

My parents were depression era and if anyone knew how to keep standing it was the people who lived through that. My prayer is that we do not see this happen again, but it could come to pass. However, like back then, we have a God who never changes and who will see us through the most difficult times.

We must just continue to stand up.
