by grace are you saved and only by grace (God’s favour) can you succeed in the
plans God knows he has for you. Grace is God’s doing. Grace is enough. Grace is
your success.”

What is failure? Failure
effects all of us. Some failures seem larger than life while others seem to pass
in the breeze like a leaf falling from a tree in autumn. However, we all frown
upon failure as if it were cancer gnawing away at the meaning of life. Yet
failure is a precursor to success.
Jim Burke was head
of a new products division at Johnson & Johnson. One of his first projects was
to develop a children's chest rub. The product failed miserably and Jim
expected he would be fired. However, when he was called before the chairman of
the board, Robert Wood Johnson, he was flabbergasted when the chairman said,
"Are you the one who just cost us all that money? Well, I just want to
congratulate you. If you are making mistakes, that means you are taking risks,
and we won't grow unless you take risks." Some years later, Burke himself
became chairman of Johnson & Johnson. Author Bob Gass puts it this way, “In
order to grasp the thing at which you succeed you must let go of the thing at
which you failed.”
For any tracker of
God’s plans, failure is not failure at all. The Scripture reminds us that God
knows the plans he has for us and if we acknowledge God in all our ways then it
is he who directs the outcome of our lives. Often what we evaluate as failure
is nothing more than a steppingstone to the purposes of God. We need to remember
it is God who produces the product of our lives. It is his blessing that brings
wealth and success, not our performance. You see, as with your salvation, your
good works cannot earn God’s favour. Only by grace are you saved and only by
grace (God’s favour) can you succeed in the plans God knows he has for you. Grace
is God’s doing. Grace is enough. Grace is your success.

SO, DON’T GIVE UP,
LOOK UP & PRAY
You are my teacher
and only your blessing will bring success in my life. I seek your blessing on
all I do with all my heart
“O Lord, I think I
have failed at so many things in life. Forgive me for any errors of judgment or
sin that may have led me to make decisions contrary to your will. But, I
realise now that failure in my life is only part of the process of success. I
know I am saved by grace through faith. My salvation cannot be accredited to
the work of my hands. Likewise, my work and performance in life cannot be accredited
to my doing but to your grace. So, dear Lord, I embrace failures as part of the
learning process. You are my teacher and only your
blessing will bring success in my life. I seek your blessing on all I do with
all my heart. Amen.”
