Breaking the Barrier of Mistakes

Mistakes are opportunities to learn. Mistakes help keep us from repeating wrong actions. Mistakes are often times a part of the price we pay for not seeking direction. These missteps are to be learned from and help us graduate to the next level.

We all make mistakes. Are they stumbling blocks or are you using them as stepping stones? God's answer is; take it to Him in prayer and ask for wisdom not to repeat them. No need to to beat yourself over the head with guilt. Instead of complaining view the mistake from God's perspective and allow Him the opportunity to change what needs to be changed and move on.

The fact that God can make a way where there seems to be no way makes all the difference. Once you've made a mistake and are paying the price, remember you are not alone because God is right there with you no matter how big the mistake. If you learn from a defeat, you have not really lost" (Zig Ziglar). Wait on the Lord, He will rescue you. Proverbs 20:22 Holman CSB.

A positive attitude will give you the hope you need to tackle your barrier of mistakes. Ps. 31:24 Negative thoughts will only give you a negative response. Do not become bitter and blame God or others for mistakes. Do not get angry and depressed while learning the lesson God intends for you. These lessons can drive you away from God if pride gets in the way. Instead, they are meant to bring us closer to Him.

Be of good courage and place your trust in God and not in your mistakes. Lean not to your own understanding. Instead, trust God to be your mistake Barrier Breaker.

Why is waiting so Hard?

We all have choices and waiting is not necessarily anyone's favorite. Why is that? Psalms 37:7 tells us to wait patiently for God. We get stuck on how long things take. "Are we there yet"? Waiting for God is as difficult as you make it out to be. Patience should be our goal. We want what we want, and we want it NOW! I heard about these two men who had purchased a gold mine near Alaska. They had been told there was gold to be found in this particular place. The men began to dig and dig they did. Eventually both became impatient. Then both made the choice to stop digging any further and sold the mine. A short time later, the person who bought the mine dug only two feet more and HIT GOLD; one of the biggest in that area. Just two feet more and the original owners would have struck gold had they not been so impatient. They were not willing to wait. God instructs us to be patient in all things. We are to be patient with our family, friends and with our selves. Most important, we must be willing to wait on God to unfold His best plans for our life. The barrier is that we lack faith. Faith is the evidence of what we can not see yet we hope for it to happen. Waiting is the hardest when we expect it to happen in a split second. It takes wisdom to break through this barrier. "Wisdom always waits for the right time to act, while emotion always pushes for action right now". says Joyce Meyers. When things are handled in an emotional speed mode there is going to be a collision of some kind. Life has stop lights and yield signs along the way for our protection and that of others. Slow down, take a deep breath, and keeping digging. Today maybe your day to Strike gold in the form of PATIENCE!

Yesterday is no longer here no need to fear
Today, I can discover perhaps a better way.
Tomorrow can wait God is never in a hurry nor Late.
My expectation helps draw Him closer to my goal and aspiration.
Trust in Him, He is the beginning and end.
Trust in His time, allow Him to speak peace to your mind.
Trusting in His wisdom and goodness is How, not our demand NOW!

Strength
There are moments I feel so weak
Who then shall I seek?
The Lord of Lords, God most high
The ultimate comforter hears my cries
When I feel myself sinking low
I need to pray and battle my demons
In His name they must go!
I need not worry for Christ has given me Liberty!
Jesus Christ is all I need
It is through Him I claim victory!
Prayer is my Faith seed.
