April 26 & 27, 2025 – What Can God Get Out Of My Failures?

What Can God Get Out Of My Failures?

April 26 & 27, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 99:8
Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     Oh, how wonderful it is that God forgives us of our sins. All our sins were washed away on the day we put our faith in Jesus and asked Him to come into our lives. However, is there still a price to pay for our sins?

     The short answer is YES. If we sin, we often must pay the earthly penalty for those sins. Can a thief be forgiven? YES! Does he still need to pay for his crime? YES!

     The good news is that God can now take what was a punishment and turn it into a blessing. How, you might ask? By teaching others how not to fall into the same pits of sin which we have fallen into. We can walk with those who are struggling in similar areas of life as we were. God can use anything to glorify Himself if we will allow Him to.

     What a wonderful truth to know that God forgives our sins even if we must pay an earthly price for them. Nevertheless, in heaven, it is gone. In the presence of God, our sin is washed away in the blood of His precious Son, Jesus Christ.

  

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

   

When faced with paying the earthly price for our sins, we should ask God to use even this to glorify Himself. Not asking how we can get out of this situation, but what can God get out of this with our life?

What might God teach you out of a failure?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage and today’s Devotion?

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

    There will not be a Daily Devotion sent out on Sundays. Instead, we encourage you to attend your church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your Pastor. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then when you get home re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given to your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.
