Never waste your failures. Learn from them. That’s what Moses did. The first thing he did when he returned to Egypt after forty years of exile in the desert was to call the leaders of the Israelites together. “Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel. And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had spoken to Moses. Then he did the signs in the sight of the people. So the people believed; and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel and that He had looked on their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.” That’s Exodus 4:29-31.

“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.”

— Proverbs 24:16 (NLT)

Lord, help us to see our failures as steppingstones rather than stumbling blocks. Amen.
