The Grace of Mistakes
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.—Romans 3:23–24 (NIV)
Do you know how God controls the storm and causes the lightning to flash from His clouds?—Job 37:15 (NLT)
It’s easy to see God’s goodness when the sun is shining and all is well, but His goodness is also present on cloudy, rainy days. All serve a purpose and all meet our needs. So if you face a gray day, or if the coming winter months seem a bit bleak, have faith and know in your heart that God’s plan is at work.
Dear Lord, I am receptive to Your ways, the sunshine of life and the rainy days.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.—Romans 3:23–24 (NIV)
