"He Will Not Fail Thee"

Failure doesn't define you until you let it define you.

This quote came up in a conversation that I had recently with a friend about failure. Failing is something I've been thinking about a lot lately, especially because I take lots of tests at this point in my life and education. I'm always worried about failing because I know the people I respect and love are watching me and wanting me to do my best, and I don't want to let them down. I know that we as imperfect, sinful humans, are going to fail in different aspects of life, but I still don't like it, haha.

Well, last night after going to bed and not being able to sleep for awhile, I started reading my Bible to see if I could get my mind quieted down enough so that I could sleep. One of the first verses I read was in Deuteronomy.

"And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed." -Deuteronomy 31:8

I bet you can see what jumped out at me in that verse, "he will not fail thee" what a great promise! So even though I'm sure I will still struggle with this, I just need to make sure that I don't LET failure define me, and no matter what I or anyone else fails at, the Lord NEVER fails.

~Verse for Today~

"We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
 
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." -2 Peter 1:19-21

~Verse for Today~

"Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else." -Deuteronomy 4:39

I love how this verse is put so simply "...the LORD he is God...there is none else."
