Theme For David Jeremiah Daily Devotional February 16 2022 – Best Way to Fail
But [Jesus] said to [the disciples], “I have food to eat of which you do not know.” Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”
John 4:32-33
Recommended Reading: John 21:15-19
You are navigating by a map and a compass in mountainous territory. You must choose which way to go—which route would be the quickest and safest. Would you rather make that decision alone, or would you rather make it in the presence of someone who can put you back on the correct path if you choose unwisely?
The ideal way to fail in life is to fail in the presence of someone who knows better—but who is kind and patient enough to give you encouragement along with correction. The three years Jesus spent with His disciples is an example of failing in the presence of a wise Teacher. The disciples failed to grasp what Jesus was doing or saying many times, but He continued to reinforce the Truth in their presence until they understood. And God is the same with us—patient and understanding.
Instead of fearing failure and God’s reaction, the best place to fail is while walking close to Him. It’s the quickest way to get back on the right path.
Faith is demonstrated by Christians who refuse to accept failure as final.
