When You Fail, Do Not Quit, Try Again

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Proverbs 24:15-16

Worship song: Survivor

 


Meditation:

    History tells us many examples of inventors, explorers, and leaders who failed multiple times before attaining success. One of the most famous is Thomas Edison, credited with inventing the carbon telephone transmitter, light bulb, and phonograph. It took 1,000 unsuccessful attempts before he created the first light bulb. It is said that many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. In our walk of faith, our identity is found in God's unending love, not our past mistakes. It is the beginning of a new chapter guided by faith. 

    The righteous man will never quit, for though he falls, he will rise again. His steps are ordered by the Lord, and he protects those who please him. If the righteous fall, they will not stay down, because the Lord will help them. It is not the end when a righteous person falls, for God's sustaining grace ensures they will rise again. Our failures are not the end of the story but rather part of God's plan to shape us for His purpose. Remember, the mark of a successor is not the absence of failure, but the will to stand firm and never surrender.

Let us pray:

    Dear Heavenly Father, I raise a hallelujah to you, O God, knowing that your church is established in us and the gates of hell can't prevail against that which you have built. Father, I am grateful that there is hope amidst adversity and that when we encounter failure, we can trust you to turn it into a steppingstone for our greater good. Almighty God, I am thankful that when we falter, you will not abandon us but will strengthen us, help us, and uphold us with your righteous right hand. Father, I thank you for empowering us with the strength and resilience to overcome despite being discouraged. Almighty God, I am grateful that when we experience failures, it does not define us, because we serve you, God, the giver of hope and the inventor of impossible things. Father, thank you for your grace and mercy to help us overcome our mistakes and failures through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen. 

Keep safe. Shalom. ✌💕🙏

Somebody Prayed

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 6:9-13 Worship song: Somebody Pray for Me   Meditation:      Prayer is an essential tool in the lives of every believer, which is a form of direct communication with our Heavenly Father. Through prayer, we seek divine help for seen and unforeseen troubles by appealing to God for guidance, protection, and strength. When we pray, we acknowledge our dependence on God and trust Him to change the situation we commit to Him. We are assured in Psalms 102:17 that God will regard the prayer of the destitute and not despise their prayer.      The prayers of those living righteously are heard and powerful and effective enough to bring about significant results. The word of God promises us in Matthew 21 that whatsoever we ask in prayer, believing, we shall receive. According to the scriptures, Hannah and Elizabeth prayed fervently to God about their barrenness. After many years of ceaseless prayer, God rem...

Why Don't You Try Jesus?

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 John 4:4-6 Worship song: Praise His Name   Meditation:      The social environment significantly influenced our development and how we deal with adversity. Whatever we are exposed to and whoever influences us can positively or negatively impact us. Our coping mechanism depends on our personal habits and the impact of the people we surround ourselves with. God does not govern our choices. He has given us the power to choose.       We must recognize when our decisions are harmful and have the wisdom to choose a different path. Redirection provides the essential and ultimate change for individuals who have been led astray and have pursued a destructive path. The adversary's plan is to keep us bound and distracted by worldly influences, but Jesus provides a pathway to liberation for all who call on his name. If you are uncomfortable and your choice is a burden, come and lay it all down, and Jesus will give y...

The Scapegoat Ritual

Good morning Scripture reading: Leviticus 16 Worship song: By His wounds   Meditation:      A scapegoat is a goat used in a biblical ritual, described in Leviticus, to achieve atonement and purification for the Israelites. On the Day of Atonement, the people's sins were symbolically transferred to the goat, which was then sent into the wilderness to carry their transgressions away. The ritual that was practice before Christ's sacrificial offering was the priest would lay both his hands upon the head of a live goat and confess over it all the iniquities and transgressions of the sins of the children of Israel, putting them upon the head of the goat, and then send it away by the hand of a competent man into the wilderness and release it in the wild.       Today, we are humbly invited into the presence of God's grace to confess our sins before our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and it was for our tra...

Move Mountain

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Matthew 17:14-21 Worship song: Who Are You Great Mountain   Meditation:      The emotional story relating to a desperate father's concern for his son's well-being is a reminder that faith is not about evidence; it is believing and hoping for a favorable outcome despite uncertainty. Jesus demonstrated that faith is sustained by hope, not evidence. At Jesus' command, the tormenting spirit immediately departed, bringing an end to the boy's emotional suffering. The comforting message of Jesus reveals the power through faith to overcome obstacles that seem impossible. Jesus used a mountain as a metaphor to illustrate the insurmountable challenges we encounter.       With a faith anchored in God's power, like a tiny mustard seed, we can overcome the mountain-sized obstacles that disrupt our spiritual, physical, or emotional state. The lesson is not about the size of our faith, but that our victory depends on...
