This Thing Called Resilience!

Whenever I teach believers about being resilient, I remind them that it means more than just “bouncing back” to how things were before! Actually, it also means “bouncing forward”—using challenges as opportunities to learn and build deeper trust in God. We read, “For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again, But the wicked stumble in time of calamity” (Proverbs 24:16). Believers will still encounter stumbles, mistakes, or hard trials (where “seven” times represents a full amount). However, they do not stay down; with God’s help, they get back up and persevere.
