Psalm 77:4 – 8
“4 You don’t let me sleep. I am too distressed even to pray! 5 I think of the good old days, long since ended, 6 when my nights were filled with joyful songs. I search my soul and ponder the difference now. 7 Has the Lord rejected me forever? Will he never again be kind to me? 8 Is his unfailing love gone forever? Have his promises permanently failed?”
Victory is one thing as is defeat but neither should be relied upon nor should we rest on them. Winston Churchill said, “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.”
We fail and sometimes we decide “I’m never going there again” only to find out we are back once again. Even in failure there a benefits to be claimed. Failure is fatal to many people they simply give up. Where would many of us be if we shared our faith with someone and they said “No” and we never shared it again, someone would be lost. Be resilient.
The scriptures teach us we will have both valleys and mountains, we will have ups and downs life is never the same. But that is no reason to give up when we think we have failed we have another opportunity to grow. Giving up is easy going forward and battling back often takes more strength but gives more rewards. Never quit trying.
If you think you haver failed put your concerns in the hands of God.
God Bless.
