Centuries later, before the flood, “everything [men] thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil” (Genesis 6:5, NLT).
When God chose Israel, they repeatedly ignored His warnings no matter how much he blessed them.
Even Paul said, “I want to do what is good, but I don't. I don't want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway” (Romans 7:19, NLT).
Do you ever feel this way?
- You’re determined not to yell at your kids.
- You commit to take off those extra pounds.
- You promise God you’ll spend more time in His Word.
“Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, [let’s] press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called [us] heavenward in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14, NIV).
If you’ve let God down, start fresh today!

ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteGreat encouragement! I love that everyday is new in the Lord's eyes and that He is in the business of redemption! We can continue to push forward knowing we are walking in Jesus' steps! Thanks for stopping by my blog (and I've read yours before as well!) from UBP.
ReplyDeleteAnd the best part is that God changes us in the process!
DeleteGail,
ReplyDeleteYou made me smile! Those have to be in my "Top Five Failures" list. It's nice to know I'm not alone.
Just last night I commented on a blog, "Thank You, God, for next times." I'm sensing a theme :-)
Appreciate your insight and encouragement.
Well, my kids are grown, so #1 isn't on my top 5 anymore, but the other two are plus more : )
DeleteIt so wonderful to come together and share our blessings and thankfulness
ReplyDeletethat GOD allows us to have and enjoy !!! Stopping by from Multitude on Monday
Have a great 1440 today and each day

Thank you for these encouraging words. I can't tell you how often I say, out loud, "I'm a failure." I wish I could stop, but it's hard. I need to memorize Philippians 3:13&14 and move forward toward my goal. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, this is a daily struggle for me!
ReplyDeleteI fail every day in some way, but His grace is sufficient for me!
ReplyDeleteMuch MUCH needed Gail. I had a conversation with my husband last night which was basically about how I wanted to give up. He said basically the same things you said here. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteWe may want to, but I don't see anywhere in the Bible where God instructs us to give up. He wants us to yield to His will, but even that yielding is active work in Him. One foot in front of the other, no matter how slowly, is forward progress.
