For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again...
It isn’t possible to find out God’s plan for your life without making a few mistakes along the way. The history books are filled with stories of great men and women who did incredible things, but prior to their achievements, they failed along the way.
Thomas Edison tried two thousand experiments before he successfully invented the light bulb. Abraham Lincoln lost several elections before he became president of the United States. We wouldn’t have heard of either of these men if they had quit before they achieved success. God has created us to keep moving toward His plan for our lives. He wants us to face new challenges, try new things, experiment, and be creative. Don’t be afraid when you fail—your success may be right around the corner.
Prayer of the Day: Father, help me not fear failure as I pursue Your plan for my life. Give me courage to try new things, and help me rise each time I fall, amen.
