SEP. 20 – GOD UPHOLDS THE RIGHTEOUS

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delights in his way. Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholds him with His hand.” — PSALM 37:23-24

I want you to know that one failure is not enough to make you a failure, so stop condemning yourself. Most of the people you see flying high in life today are not better than you. Some of them started far lower than where you are now. They never had great beginnings, yet they made headway.

Failure only helps you appreciate and strive for success, because only a man who has been on the ground appreciates being at the top and does all it takes to get there. If there were no failures, we would not know what it means to succeed. So, failure is the womb of success. Don’t feel strange when you fail. Always remember that when you fail, you have a covenant covering that allows you to rise again. Never remain in your fallen state because that is not the end of your life; there is still hope for you in Christ.

Prayer: Pray and ask God to give you the spirit of courage to press on in life.
