I have discovered along this journey of life, that failing and falling goes hand and hand. Failing simply refers to the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Falling is simply dropping oneself to a lower or less erect position. I've discovered that God has to allow us to fail in many of our endeavors and accomplishments, in order to fall down on our knees and get low, in order to hear from him, in what he desires for us to do.
Paul went through the rough sides of his ministry, he has been in shipwrecks, beating with many stripes, persecuted, and abandoned. Through all of these things, Paul admits to us that even though he has gone through it, God is able to get him out of. He focuses on even though this has happened to me, I got hope.
The Sincerity of a Preacher is to admit that he have failed! It is through these times of failing, that we learn how to fall down on our knees, and get back up hitting the ground running. We all have fallen into the hype of self-sufficiency , however, God gives us that needed ingredient that tells us that we need to Look to the savior who is the source of all of our blessings and he will send you the help u need. The psalmist simply says that, I will left up mine eyes until the hills from whence cometh my help, all of my help comes from the Lord. (Psalms 121:1)
Failure is not an option, it is the pre-requisite for getting to the next level of prayer! I was in the car this morning, I asked myself out of loud what did I do to fail or why did I deserve this? My aunt reminded me that this things that we go through are only temporary, and through the temporary stage, we must let go and let God. As I close this blog, I can recall and reflect on my grandfather's ministry, and he was always serious about everything and one of the traits that I adopted from him was taking everything serious and keeping going. My biggest regret in my life right now is that I hate that I couldn't balance myself from the beginning. I am thankful to be balancing myself now, if I would've then, then I truly would be reflective.
Through our frustrations of failure, let us not continue in failing, let us fall down upon our knees and listen to the voice of God. Every situation we go through, it's not designed for our limitations, but they are designed for our revelation to the destination of our elevation. For those who are general readers of this blog, this is one that is designed to minister to the heart of someone who have been distressed and perplexed.
