Fail-Proof
“The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in His way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.” - Psalm 37:23-24
Did you know that when God puts a plan in motion, it cannot fail? That includes the plan He has given you. We have talked a lot about opportunities over the last several days. Listen, no matter who you are, where you have come from, or what you have done, your opportunity has not been lost.
The fact that you are living and breathing is all the proof you need to know that God still has an amazing plan in place for your life. And with that plan, He will provide the opportunities you need.
But it doesn’t stop there. I have even better news. Those opportunities He gives you are fail-proof…meaning, you can’t mess them up because God cannot fail! Nothing He sets in motion ever has or ever will.
Psalm 37:23-24 says, “The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in His way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.”
Did you catch that? “though he fall, he shall not cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.” Other translations of this say, “though he may stumble, HE WILL NOT FAIL, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.”
When you follow God, you cannot fail. You might have failed in the past. You might even be known to screw up. When you’ve been given an opportunity, you’ve squandered it. But not this time, not when you are following God.
You do not have to spend a second worrying about if you will fail because God’s plans are fail-proof. If He places the opportunity in your life, and you follow Him, you will succeed. It really is that simple!
