<v Speaker 1>let us kind of take a conversion together. From Joshua

13
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>chapter one, verse eight. Joshua chapter one, verse eight. This

14
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 1>book of the Law shall not depart out of my mouth,

15
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.079
<v Speaker 1>but I shall meditate in it today and night, that

16
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>I may observe to do according to all that is

17
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:32.519
<v Speaker 1>written in it. For then I will make my way prosperous,

18
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>and then I will have good success a man. The

19
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:43.599
<v Speaker 1>theme for today's devotion is he won't fail. He won't fail,

20
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.239
<v Speaker 1>Written by Joshua amvia Law and as scripture reading is

21
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 1>from Romance chapter four, verses sixteen through to twenty one.

22
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 1>Romance Chapter four, verse sixteen to twenty one, reading from ANLT.

23
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 1>Let us see the word of the Lord. So the

24
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 1>promise is received by faith. It is given as a

25
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>free gift, and we are all settin to receive it,

26
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 1>whether or not we live according to the law of Moses,

27
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 1>if we have faith like Abraham's. For Abraham is the

28
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 1>father of all who believe. This is what the scriptures

29
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>mean when God told him, I have made you the

30
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 1>father of many nations. This happened because Abraham believed in

31
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 1>the God who brings the dead back to life and

32
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>who creates new things out of nothing. Even when there

33
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 1>was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping, believing that

34
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 1>he would become the father of many nations, for God

35
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>had said to him, that's how many descendants you will have.

36
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>And Abraham's faith did not waken, even though, at about

37
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 1>one hundred years of age, he figured his body was

38
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 1>as good as dead, and so was Sarah's. Wont Abraham

39
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:13.439
<v Speaker 1>never wavered in believing God's promise. In fact, his faith

40
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 1>grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God.

41
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>He was fully convinced that God is able to do

42
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>whatever he promises. Made the Lord add his blessings to

43
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the reading and hearing of his word, and all shall respond.

44
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 1>Tongues be to God. Amen. He won't fail believed. Many

45
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>of us will agree that failure is such an off

46
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>put in word. No one likes it and no one

47
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.919
<v Speaker 1>wants it. But failure is part and parcele of the

48
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 1>falling human condition. We are not perfect, and even the

49
00:03:56.199 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 1>best of us fails sometimes often than not. Each success

50
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>is preceded by many failures, and in the journey of

51
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>becoming the best at something, failure is often one of

52
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:17.879
<v Speaker 1>the most silient teachers. Despite how conversant we are with failure,

53
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 1>sometimes failing as somethings make us feel as if the

54
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>world has come to an end and all hope is lost.

55
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it is the weight of repeated failures that suddenly

56
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>creeps up on you and weigh you down. Continue to

57
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 1>give up on everything and end it all. It may

58
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>be something you have always succeeded at, but the one

59
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 1>time you feel that it brought so much shame that

60
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 1>you felt like digging a hole and burying yourself in it.

61
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Or it could be something you poured your hat and

62
00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>sold into that ineesplicably suddenly fell apart. Sometimes it is

63
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 1>even so difficult to admit to ourselves that we have

64
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:09.959
<v Speaker 1>failed as something that we would rather expend energy and effort,

65
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>assigning blame to everyone else. People deal with failure in

66
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 1>different ways, But as children of God, how should we

67
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>handle failure? Apostle Paul answers this impart by telling us

68
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 1>in Romance chapter aid, verse twenty eight that and we

69
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>know that all events work together for good to those

70
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 1>who love God, to those who are the called according

71
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 1>to His promise beloved. As children of God, we handle

72
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:48.800
<v Speaker 1>failure by simply trusting God and knowing that while we

73
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:54.600
<v Speaker 1>may fail, God cannot and will not fail. In Apostle

74
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Paul's commentary on the life of Abraham in Roman chapter

75
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 1>fall from today's Scripture reading, he says that even when

76
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:06.879
<v Speaker 1>there was no reason to hope, Abraham kept hoping and

77
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 1>trusting in God because he was fully convinced that God

78
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:16.399
<v Speaker 1>is able to do whatever he promises, and believed God

79
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 1>has a promise and a purpose for each and every

80
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.800
<v Speaker 1>one of us. He tells us in Jerremrriach, chapter twenty

81
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.160
<v Speaker 1>nine is eleven. For I know the plans I have

82
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 1>for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good

83
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and not for disaster, to give you a future and

84
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.639
<v Speaker 1>a hope. And Apostle Paul assures us again in Romans

85
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.879
<v Speaker 1>for sixteen that we are all setting to receive God's

86
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.839
<v Speaker 1>promises that he has given to us if we have

87
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>faith like Abraham's a man. Sometimes you're feeling at something

88
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>is simply God saying that he has a better plan

89
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.839
<v Speaker 1>for you. So if you put your trustfully in God

90
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 1>along the journey, you'll realize at the end of the

91
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:07.959
<v Speaker 1>journey that despite the many little or big failures, the

92
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.839
<v Speaker 1>end result is much better than what you could have

93
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 1>ever hoped for. So, despite what the enemy repeatedly was best,

94
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>especially in trying times, failing as something does not make

95
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>you a failure, just the same way as a human

96
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.639
<v Speaker 1>being does not become a cow because they restrict themselves

97
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:34.439
<v Speaker 1>completely to a diet of grass and beloved. One of

98
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:37.959
<v Speaker 1>the most tragic things a believer can go through is

99
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.600
<v Speaker 1>consistently harboring the thought or believe that God has failed them.

100
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.279
<v Speaker 1>This is one of the greatest weapons that the enemy

101
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>uses against the children of God to rob them of

102
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>their jaw and peace on the journey of faith. But today,

103
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:58.399
<v Speaker 1>why don't we remind and encourage ourselves with this truth

104
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>that God can not and will not fail. And like

105
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.839
<v Speaker 1>our father Abraham, let us be fully convinced that God

106
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>is able to do whatever he promises a man, let's

107
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of take our memory. Verse from Romance, Chapter Fall,

108
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Versus twenty and twenty one, Roman Chapter aall Versus twenty

109
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 1>and twenty one, reading from the New Living Translation. Abraham

110
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:30.519
<v Speaker 1>never wavered in believing God's promise. In fact, his faith

111
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:34.519
<v Speaker 1>grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God.

112
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.200
<v Speaker 1>He was fully convinced that God is able to do

113
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>whatever he promises a man. Let us kindly share a

114
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>word of prayer. Father, well, thank you for your weather

115
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.480
<v Speaker 1>has come to us today. Thank you for the privilege

116
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>of being called your children, and for your good and

117
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:56.960
<v Speaker 1>perfect plans concerning us. Lord, we pray for the grace

118
00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to hold on to our faith in You and your

119
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 1>promises without just like Abraham, that we also may bring

120
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.480
<v Speaker 1>glory to You as we receive the fulfillment of your promises.

121
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Grant us the wisdom and grace to silence the enemy

122
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>when it comes withspring doubt and discouragement to steal our

123
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>joy and peace. Let your papers alone be established in

124
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>our lives in Jesus's name. We pray with thanksgiving a man.

125
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for listening, and stay tuned for more spirit

126
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>fueled content or radio ACI today until we come away

127
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.679
<v Speaker 1>once again tomorrow. At the same time, do stay blessed

128
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:38.279
<v Speaker 1>and have a fruitful day. Shovel
