No one wants to talk about failure, but we all miss the mark from time to time. Even our biblical heroes like Noah, Abraham, and Moses did things they shouldn't have done, requiring God to step in and set things right. But that's the beauty of life when we mess up: God is there with us every step of the way.
In
Un-failing: Stumbling Our Way into God's Unlimited Goodness, authors Shane Stanford and Anthony Thaxton explain how viewing failure as an opportunity for spiritual growth can help us through experiences and seasons when we seem to have lost our way.
From God's perspective, knowing that free will means we won't always do things His way, failure provides an opportunity for us to turn to Him. No matter what we do, His love is unfailing, and He makes all things work together for our good.
