Failure: March 29, 2017

TODAY’S WORD FOR WEDNESDAY MARCH 29, 2017.
FAILURE

DEFINITION:

An act or instance of proving unsuccessful; lack of success; non-performance of something; to fall short.
SCRIPTURE:

Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established. Proverbs 16:3

He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. Proverbs 28:13.

Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say unto the Lord. Psalm 27:14

But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden your face from Him. Isaiah 59:2


KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:

All of us have or will experience failure at some time in our life. Just because we fail does not mean that we should give up. Some of the most beneficial lessons we learn in life comes from failure.

The four scripture verses we have put above are guides for us when we fail at some task. The most important key to overcoming failure in our lives is making sure we have a right relationship with our Lord and Savior. An unbeliever may have no one to go to who will stand by their side as they work through their failures. Those who know the Lord can be assured that He will be with them through all their failures.

The first thing that one must do to conquer a failure is to admit the failure to the Lord and to commit the solving of it to the Lord. If there is sin in our life, we must confess our sin and forsake it and seek God’s forgiveness.

When you fail to do something for the Lord or have a failure in some way that affects your relationship with Him, you must experience God’s forgiveness in your life. When you know Jesus, he will forgive you when you ask for forgiveness.

Many people react fast to failure by trying to cover up the failure. That just does not work. It is best to look at the scriptures for advice and read for example Psalm 27:14. The counsel of David reminds us to “wait on the Lord”.

We are reminded what many parents do with a child when they disobey some rule or fail to do something they were supposed to do. The parent will say to the child to take a “time out.” They will tell the child to go and sit and think about what they failed to do.

It is best sometimes for us to take a “time out” and think about our failure and wait on the Lord in prayer. It is wise not to react fast but take an intermission and evaluate the lesson you can learn from your failure. Ask the Lord to help you understand what he is showing you. By talking to God, you can evaluate your failure and start again and by learning you will be successful if you commit to the Lord what you are going to do.

In order to replace failures with successes you must move forward. But move forward with God in the picture. Read the verses above again and believe God for many successes in the future.


LEARNING:

Our memory verse for this week is found in Romans 3:23.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
PRAYER:

Lord, forgive me of my sins and help me to learn from my failures. Help me today to commit my works, my deeds, my thoughts and all that I do to You.
