Success through Failure: From Stumbling Stones to Stepping Stones

Remember falling and scraping your knee so seriously that you had to quit the race and get medical attention for the gaping wound? A little “doctoring” was usually required for the injury and for your broken heart as well. Perhaps you heard someone who was trying to buffet the pain say, “The more it stings, the better the medicine is working.” Our lives will always have its bitter medicine in the form of failures, but the more it stings, the better opportunity God will have to help us win the race.

“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” Hebrews 12:11

Life is full of highs and lows. The highs of successes are easy to handle, but the lows of failures seem to stick around forever.

It’s important to remember that God’s ways are not necessarily our ways. Unless you learn to see failure from God’s point of view, you may become discouraged and defeated. Often we learn valuable lessons from our failures and are strengthened by the challenge. God has a purpose for your life and desires for you to be successful in your personal relationship with him.

Through God’s grace, you have the ability to forget your failures and put your past behind you. You are free to walk forward in the light of Christ’s love!

What God Says

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” Hebrews 12:1

  • Who in our society offends us the most? It’s the robbers, the killers, the rapists—the flagrant law breakers. Now think about Jesus. Who offended Him the most? It was the Pharisees, the religious leaders of the day—the legalistic law keepers. They upset Him the most. But, why the Pharisees?

  • God can help you uncover the source of your anger whether injustice, hurt, fear or frustration. He is ready and able to heal your heart and help you control your anger before it controls you!

  • “Kids are much like kites—struggling to become airborne, yet needing the stability of the string. A kite is not designed to be possessively protected inside the home. Though separation is painful, God designed your role as a parent to prepare ‘your kite’ for flight. ..." - June Hunt
  • No one can guarantee a life without rejection. In fact, the Bible promises that you will come face-to-face with it. But God also promises eternal and unconditional acceptance.
  • The Bible tells us about the ongoing conflict that is taking place between two spiritual kingdoms . . . the kingdom of God and the kingdom of satan, with his unseen army of demonic influences. Although God reigns sovereign over heaven and earth, He allows satan limited power over this age.
