How to turn your mistakes into Miracles
Proverbs 24:16 says, “A just man may fall seven times, yet he will rise up again." As Christians we will all, at some time or other, stumble or make a mistake. Be it intentionally or unintentionally! Errors are just part of daily life, and they happen to all of us. However, even though some mistakes or misjudgements are devastating, the majority can be turned around for your good. Yesterday's tragedy can become the catalyst for today's triumph! Every setback provides you with the opportunity to make a come back!
Even in error and catastrophe, in hardship and suffering, in tears and tragedy, in bitter disappointments and mistakes, God promises to work all things together for your good [Romans 8:28]. Psalm 37:23, 24 states that "the steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he falls [fails], he shall not altogether be cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand." Notice, the Lord delights in your ways. Even though you fail, you will not experience permanent defeat! Why? Because He has you firmly in the palm of His hand! Therefore, failure is not fatal! And, your mistakes are not final!
