DAILY GRACE, FRIDAY JUNE 23RD, 2023.
HANDLING MISTAKES (1)
TEXT: PSALM 37:23-24
VERSE OF THE DAY:
_“OUR ENEMIES HAVE NO REASON TO GLOAT OVER US. WE HAVE FALLEN, BUT WE WILL RISE AGAIN. WE ARE IN DARKNESS NOW, BUT THE LORD WILL GIVE US LIGHT”- MICAH 7:8._
Mistakes have a negative image. So we hide them, play the blame game, or beat ourselves up when they occur. In fact, these actions compound our mistakes by creating stress and anxiety, damaging relationships, and squandering time and money.
Trying to avoid mistakes at any cost can be very costly. As Albert Einstein said, “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new”. Learn from other people’s mistakes rather than reinventing the wheel and making every mistake yourself. Sweeping mistakes under a rug never makes them really disappear.
Left unattended, small mistakes grow into big ones. Mistakes don’t make you a failure, but beating yourself up makes you feel like one. It is one thing to make a mistake and quite another to commit one intentionally by being deceitful.
No one wins the blame game. Pointing fingers prohibits learning or progress from taking place. It’s time to face the music.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, help me to learn from my mistakes in Jesus’ name, Amen.
