We fall; we rise.
We are adjudicated and found guilty and then ...
The Judge steps down from the bench to plead our case.
It is as if we cannot lose; every loss becomes a win.
" Rejoice not over me, O my enemy;
when I fall, I shall rise;
when I sit in darkness,
the LORD will be a light to me.
I will bear the indignation of the LORD
because I have sinned against him,
until he pleads my cause
and executes judgment for me.
He will bring me out to the light;
I shall look upon his vindication. - Micah 7:8-9 (ESV)
