THE FOREDESTINED FALL
By: Pastor Matt Morgan
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
Psalms 37:23-24 KJV
Although he falls? By His providence, God overrules the events of our lives. God will keep us from being ruined by our falls, whether into sin or into trouble. God refuses to forsake us.
Your failures create the context where God’s grace is most evident! Now, it's not Gods plan for you to go out and fail, but it is in His plan to save you. Sovereignty is wrapped in mystery! God does not save us to sin, He saves us from sin. The rescue mission has already been ordered. (Jesus told Peter, "I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; [after you do] and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren." Luke 22:32).
So when you fail, fall, or miss that mark, just reach out. He's there—He's always there. My weakness gives validity to His strength. Thank God for His unmerited favor! I am more than the witness to His grace, I am the evidence!
