Wednesday, March 3, Failure

As I read the Bible, I see how the great men of God failed at times. Yet most of them fell before God, asked for forgiveness and then got up and kept on doing their best for Him. In reading the Old Testament accounts, it amazes me how some who had seen the mighty power of God in their lives and country, turned away and did not repent. By reading the word daily, God shows me how to live. He shows me that when I fail, I can ask for forgiveness, receive it, and continue on walking with Him. What a wonderful God. Father, help me to keep on keeping on and leave the past failures behind. Thank you for your continuing forgiveness and patience.
