MISTAKES

One of the most commonly quoted maxims is “we learn from our mistakes.” If that is the case I should be absolutely brilliant by now. Obviously, I don’t learn as quickly as I should since I often repeat certain mistakes over and over. But there is good news nonetheless, if all my mistakes are new ones I am making progress since learning what not to do is a vital part of knowing what is best. The more I arm my decision making with the principles of God’s Word and the wisdom of God’s Spirit the easier it is to not repeat the same mistakes. Lord, guide me today through the maze of decisions along the way. Help me make good choices and grant me wisdom, spiritual advance and the joy and satisfaction of getting it right the first time.
