Let us not allow disappointments to destroy our faith, douse our hope, and distract us from following Christ. Let us instead focus on God’s redemptive kindness in our lives, and keep holding on to His words and promises.
“For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.” Psalm 100:5
Facing failure
When faced with failures, may we remember the many times He has helped us in the past. May we not forget how He restored what we have lost to sinfulness. The uncountable instances He chose to love and bless us even when we were still disobedient Him, and have yet to follow His ways.
“Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!” Romans 5:9-10
Let us not allow the walls in front of us, to keep us from looking up to Him. May we not be discouraged from casting our worries and fears to Him who truly cares and loves us.
