Failure Isn't Failure
Lately, I've noticed several Facebook posts
of people who say they are depressed, lonely, sad, disappointed, tired,
frustrated, or in some other negative frame of being. Granted, the devil is
after your peace, your joy and your purpose; but he is a liar, a thief, and a
distracter.
The Lord is your strength! The Lord is your
joy! The Lord has GOOD THINGS laid aside that have your name on them! God is
for you!
Let me remind you today that every good thing in life is
worth fighting for. In
fact, the example we see over and over in scripture is where God's people are
required to persevere in spite of giants, enemies, opposition, failure and even
in spite of consequences to their own sin.
Sometimes, you've got to ENCOURAGE YOURSELF
in the Lord. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and force yourself to act like
who God says you are instead of who the naysayers say you are. Friend, through
prayer, bible reading and PARTICIPATION with Kingdom protocol, you are more
than a conqueror!
It's not over until God says it's over and
He is always working all things out for your good! He has a roadmap of
blessings prepared just for YOU!
So, if you've experienced a setback,
disappointment, roadblock or any negative outcome from your previous efforts,
remember... this is only a test!
Press on! Failure is NOT failure unless you
stop trying!
“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall
into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh
patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and
entire, wanting nothing.”
James 1:2-4 KJV

Good Deeds
Isn't it strange how we sometimes find ourselves in a place of feeling like we are OK with God - just because we made the check list of good deeds for the day. Then again, oftentimes, we find ourselves feeling inadequate as a Christian - because we failed to "do" all the things we intended.
Child of God, it's wonderful to rest in the LOVE OF GOD. By simply surrendering your life, meditating on His Word and fellowshipping with Him in prayer, God promises that the Holy Spirit will be your helper... your teacher... your compass... your comforter... your friend...
My sweet friend, when you truly rest in the LOVE OF GOD, there is no glory in the works of the flesh. There is no need to worry - "did I" do enough, "did I" say enough, or "did I" be enough.
The Holy Spirit of God reveals Himself through the fragrant fruit that emanates from a life that is not only trusting in the Master, but also one who is eager to please the Him in a spirit of humility.
A peaceful countenance is more precious than all the "works" your flesh can ever muster up.
So, if you are trying hard to be a good Christian. If you are trying hard to please people. If you are trying hard to win God's approval - to win His favor...
I've got good news for your today.
STOP TRYING and START LIVING!
By only laboring to live in the power of the Holy Spirit, all other labor becomes joy! The Holy Spirit will not just empower you to "do," "say" and "act" right... He will also add an abundance of JOY in the midst of it all.
So for today, I'm challenging you to LIVE in the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT.
STOP RIGHT NOW.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you to over-flowing so that your life will spill out rivers of joy in everything you do!
