Face Your Failures With God's Goodness
One stumble does not define or break a person. Though you failed, God’s love does not. Face your failures with faith in God’s goodness.
He saw this collapse coming. God could see the upcoming mishaps. Still, he tells you what he told Joshua.
My servant Moses is dead. Now you must lead Israel across the Jordan River into the land I'm giving to all of you. (Joshua 1:2 CEV)
There is no conditions in that promise. No fine print. No performance language. God’s promises don't depend on your perfection. It depends on his.
In God’s hands no defeat is a crushing defeat. Scripture says;
If you do what the Lord wants, he will make certain each step you take is sure. The Lord will hold your hand, and if you stumble, you still won't fall. (Psalms 37:23-24 CEV)
