“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will
establish your plans” (Proverbs 16:3, NIV).
God knows my heart, and He knows that any decision I make I will give to
Him. I yearn for my plan to be His plan, and if it is not, I pray that He
changes it. I want to be grounded in Him. I can do all things through Him. He
gives me the strength for this day and for the next. I move ahead in His will,
and then without warning—I fail.
I often forget that when I fail, I
don't “own” that failure. It belongs to Him. Everything that I am belongs to
Him, so my failure also belongs to Him. But I must give it to Him. He
understands where my failure began, and I know that He alone can make it right.
Because I love Him, and my heart longs to follow only His will, He takes my
failure and reclaims me. He is my Lord, and I will rejoice in His promise of
restoration.
Thank the Lord, I don't own
His plan, and I don't own my failure. Today I step forward from doubt caused by
failure, and move forward in faith in Him. I see His plan alive in my
life. One step, and one day at a time brings His reward.
