Face Up
Filed Under Devotional
This is about those times, guys. You know, those times when you look back on something and think, “What was I thinking?” Well, it happens to all of us and, without making excuses, you just have to face it with God and whomever you have in the world. Remember Peter?
“But Peter said to Him, “Even though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away.” ” Matthew 26:33
A very short time later, he folded. He lost his faith in the fear of the world. Yet, God used him in a mighty fashion in his life.
It wasn’t his only failure either. Later, his old nature popped up again and he was weak in the faith to the point that Paul had to remind him that Jesus Christ died for all, not just those who were in the classic Jewish mold. Bad decisions and mistakes come in a variety of colors and flavors. Just remember that Jesus Christ died for those men that fail from time to time, the men who fail most of the time, and even those who fail all of the time!
Keep your faith, face up, and go forward.
