The Bible Recap Reading: 2 Samuel 8 - 9, 1 Chronicles 18 The Bible Recap Podcast: Day 129 Running short on time so giving you a peek into my favorite Daily Devotional from Sarah Young. "Jesus Calling". "Don't be so hard on yourself. I can bring good even out of your mistakes. Your finite mind tends to look backward, longing to undo decisions you have come to regret. This is a waste of time and energy, leading only to frustration. Instead of floundering in the past, release your mistakes to Me. Look to Me in trust, anticipating that My infinite creativity can weave both good choices and bad into a lovely design. Because you are human, you will continue to make mistakes. Thinking that you should live an error-free life is symptomatic of pride. Your failures can be a source of blessing, humbling you and giving you empathy for other people in their weaknesses. Best of all, failure highlights your dependence on Me. I am able to bring beauty out of the morass of your mistakes. Trust Me, and watch to see what I will do." Jesus Calling Devotional, Sarah Young Isn't it great news that God wants us to lighten up and not be so hard on ourselves? Great word for me today. Romans 8:28 English Standard Version And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Micah 7:7 English Standard Version But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
