BEING WILLING TO LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES

1 Corinthians 10:6 New King James Version
6 Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.

SO, WE DON’T REPEAT THEM. GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!

I have to say guys, this morning’s Scripture brought back some rather interesting memories in my life of how my dad and yes even my mom, would bring up past mistakes I made, not to do what Paul’s doing here, but to belittle, manipulate, and gaslight me into submission. I’ve been thinking a lot lately of some of the things that have happened in my life, especially mistakes and failures, but from a different perspective. I see them from the perspective that God has forgiven me of these things, that He has forgotten my sins and mistakes, but also has given me the opportunity to remember them. Not to browbeat me or manipulate me, but as genuine learning opportunities. I think that's why I found the questions from this morning's devotional so important, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions very carefully, and I pray that God will speak to you through them.

What warning should we recall when tempted to sin?

I'd like to share some things that God showed me from His Word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will encourage and motivate you to not only want to learn from your past mistakes, but to do so from a perspective of having been forgiven. To do so with the desire to not only never make those mistakes again, but also to help others avoid making the same mistakes you have. Come join me in this vlog tonight and see just what I mean! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this last question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that it will encourage you to not just learn from your mistakes, but also live as the forgiven child of God that you truly are.

How can we learn from our mistakes as well as the mistakes of others?

I pray tonight, that if you are living in the bonds of your past, if you are living in the shackles of mistakes, failures, and sins that you've committed in the past, come before the Lord, and confess and repent of them today. If you’ve confessed and repented of those sins, ask God to help you remember and realize the fact that you are a forgiven, redeemed child of God whose Heavenly Father has not only forgiven you, but buried them in the sea of forgetfulness! Choose to learn not only from your mistakes, but also the mistakes of others, so that you don't repeat them. Ask God every day to help you learn from failures so that you can be more obedient to Him, and Him alone.

SO, UNTIL WEDNESDAY

HAVE A TRANQUILLY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS
