As I work through this life, I take on many tasks and some are successful and others fail. I tend to focus on the failure (which is 1 out of 5ish). What about the other 4 times I succeeded? Shouldn’t I look at those times more intently?
“2I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” Job 42:2 (ESV)
Wow, God does not fail. Everything He sets out to accomplish is a success. That includes my failure. When I am doing the work of God, I may not see the success, but God does and knows my intent and heart. Everything I do is for the success of God. I may not count the task as a success in my thinking, however my actions may (likely are if grounded in God’s Word) be just what God was looking for.
Are you looking at your tasks from a succeed/fail perspective, or as doing God’s work for his success? What is next on your agenda that you can look to obey God and not worry about your success or failure? Do you know that God does not fail?
