They both fall.
The difference is not whether or not they fall; it is what they do when they fall.
The wicked man will stay where he fell and will continue to fall deeper into sin.
The good--no, not just good--the just man falls as well, but he doesn't stay there; He rises up again--not to where he was before, but by God's grace to greater heights than before.
"For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief." --Proverbs 24:16
"The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand." --Psalms 37:23-24
Hannah, that is such a beautiful thought. Thanks for sharing! :) You are very much in my thoughts and prayers!
