GOD A firm Foundation

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
Psalm 86:5

Thoughts:
Failure is not a terminal condition, unless we allow it to be. We may stumble, but if we repent and receive the correction and instruction from God, we will find grace and mercy and the ability to keep stepping forward on our journey. Ignoring and making excuses for our failures, leaves us stagnate and retreating back into our past. We have all failed God at one point or another, but God will never fail us. His mercy is new each morning. God understands our human frailties, but not when we attempt to excuse it. We can’t run from the truth, but must face it and embrace the correction and instruction of God. His grace is sufficient. Failure is an opportunity for God to strengthen, teach us and prepare us for our destiny on this Earth and our eternal destiny in His presence. How grateful we need to be for the grace and mercy of our God. We were nothing, yet He has made us heirs to His Kingdom, we had nothing, and He has given us everything.

Prayer:
Lord, forgive me of my sins, envelop me with Your mercy, and restore unto me the joy of my salvation. You understand my heart and You know my ways. I submit to Your instruction and receive Your correction. I have no defense, I make no excuses. I thank You for the Grace that keeps me advancing forward. My spirit is willing, my flesh sometimes weak. Set my feet on a firm foundation, and perform the work within my life that only You can. Amen.
