Be like a punching bag

remember those inflateable punching bags with sand in the bottom. when you hit the they go down and pop right back up just as fast as the went down. that is what we need to be like. when satan pricks us then and we fall we should pop right back up just like the punching bag does then we need to give God the glory.

Very good metaphor. It reminds me of a line from an Elton John song, "I'm still standing," (that's it, the line, and maybe even the song title) that was played on MTV in its early days when all it was was music videos. I think John's message was even though he was starting to get old he was still going strong. And also the motto of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars, whose motto was "I still live!"
