Jesus Never Fails
Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore?
Psalm 77:8
Recommended Reading
Psalm 77:8-14
Sir Winston Churchill, the legendary politician and statesman known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during the Second World War, once said, "Continuous effort -- not strength or intelligence -- is the key to unlocking our potential." We can't rest on our victories; neither can we wallow in our defeats. Everyone occasionally fails, and sometimes our failures can demoralize us. But even in failure there are benefits to be gained and progress to be made. Some lessons can only be learned in failure, and a day is never lost if a lesson is learned.
God can do more with our failures than the world can do with our successes. Failure is often the back door to success if we persevere. Basketball great Michael Jordan understood this. He once said, "Failure always made me try harder next time."
As we encounter our ups and downs, it's helpful to remember that God never fails and that His mercy never ceases. His compassions fail not; they are new every morning. If you're brooding over a failure today, place it in Christ's hands. He can turn it for good.
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
