"For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity." Prov. 24:16
I have been through some things in life that might have derailed or sunk another person. But I am still here. Better men than me have committed professional suicide while achieving success. But I am still here. Enemies who slandered me or lied about me are long gone. But I am still here.
Our text gives us some insight into this matter. Those who survive the trials and troubles of life are righteous. Those who fail in the day of adversity are wicked. I guess I was looking up to men who turned out to be wicked. I guess those who forsake the faith of their fathers are just wicked at the core.
It is he who endures to the end who will be saved in the end. The flash in the pan will only live in the dusty volumes of history. Not so the righteous.
"...In the volume of the book it is written of me..." Heb.10:7
I'm still here!
