Have you ever heard someone tell you, "Today is a good day for me to fail!" Chances are you haven't and chances are you won't. Who on God's green earth would want to fail? The answer is quite simple… No one.
We can't change our past, but we can strive to change our future. When we fail, God gives us a choice to stay down and out or rise again. "For the righteous fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity." Proverbs 24:16. God tells us, "My grace is enough!" He wants us to stand after we fall. Sometimes when we fail, its God telling us we weren't on the right path to begin with. By His grace, God will change that, even if it’s through our failures. Remember what Joseph tells his brother in Gen 50:20, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good, to save many lives." Strive to do good, but when you fail, remember God's grace and rise again. Don't stay defeated, learn and press on towards the goal.
