Have you ever been at a time where it seems like no matter what you do and no matter how hard you try everything you do seems to fail. It seems like one failure leads to another and then to another. Well first things first I'll tell you I've had this happen allot lately but after a friend gave me some advice and I learned that allot of people in the Bible failed even though I heard it many times before it never clicked. Check this out Paul before he was converted was a murder, Peter swore and cussed, Moses murdered and had lost his temper on many occasions, Aaron was rebellious, Abraham failed God seven times, Sarah laughed at God, David fell to immorality, Isaac left the will of God, Job was proud, Rehab was a harlot, Naomi was depressed, Mary Magdalene was a harlot, Elijah lost his faith in God and the list goes on! I wrote down a list like this but with even more people then I wrote next to that list what they where most known for Paul was a great evangelist, Peter preached the message at Pentecost, Moses lead his people out of Egypt, Aaron became the first high priest, Abraham was called God's friend, Sarah God's promise came to her, David a man after God's own heart, Isaac the father of two nations, Job twice blessed, Rehab part of the linage of Jesus, Naomi Ruth's mother in law, Mary Magdalene washed Jesus feet and was the first to see Jesus after he was risen and Elijah was a great prophet. Now why did all these people go to go from failures to great things this verse will answer this.
Proverbs 24:16
King James Version (KJV)
"For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief."
When you fail don't stay in that state get up and instead of saying oh look I failed again :( say "I may have failed this time but look at what I've learned! I may have fail but next time I'll succeed!"
We don't always see God's plan for us but no matter how we see it our lives mean so much and our failures may just be God's greatest blessing! So when you fall be sure to rise up again! :)
