TURN YOUR FAILURES OVER TO GOD AND EMBRACE HIS PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE!



Copyright © 2012 by Dr. William Valmyr

The Scripture says that “God has chosen the foolish things [even foolish people] of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong” (1 Corinthians 1:27, NASB). In every instance where human failure is present, God offered His goodness, grace and mercy to the repentant sinner. If your life has been marred by failure this year, may I encourage you to take responsibility for your indiscretions and surrender them to the Lord in a prayer of repentance! God is the only Person who has the ability to redeem and turn your “failures into stepping stones for godly success!”

Our God is the God of restoration and He is in the business of transforming lives. The Word of God is filled with stories of lives that were transformed by the power of our gracious God.  Just when men and women had given up on life because of what many may call irreparable damages caused by human failures; God often manifests His compassion and divine plan of restoration to fulfill His purpose for the glory of His name. From Genesis to Revelation, we find the redemptive power of God in the most destructive displays of human fallibility. Our God is indeed the God of restoration par excellence! I am looking forward to witnessing the transforming power of God as your past failures will thrust you into God’s grace for success in the months to come! Friends, God is for you and not against! He wants you to turn from your sins and embrace His grace!

Father, forgive us for our lack of obedience and teach us Your way everlasting! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
