Second Chances

 

Proverbs 16: 3, Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.

Is there anyone among us that has not wished he could go back and undo past mess ups? Obviously, we can't. It helps if we can understand certain truths and move on.

Some mistakes were made because we didn't know about our savior. Today's verse for instance tells us that if we don't know who God is, we will struggle to have some meager kind of success, or more than likely total failure. The big thing we have to realize is that we have no control over anything. 

Ecclesiastes 9: 11, I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill,: but time and chance happened to them all.

Even people who know God mess up sometimes because they don't wait on His timing. The Bible is a book of instructions for life. If you were going to play any kind of a sports game, and you didn't know the rules, how could you play? Life is that way.

We are sure to mess up when we follow our own plans. God allows us to do that. Following the world is like intentionally doing something that will cause failure. Everything in life involves circumstances we cannot control or even know about.

Romans 12:2, Do not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, and you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Everyone can get a chance to get things right. Almighty God forgives whatever you did, if you ask Him. Since Almighty God forgives you, you must forgive yourself. Obviously, you cannot go back and change anything that has happened, but by trusting in God you can avoid future things that would make you regret later. So, in a way you are getting another chance.

When you accept the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as your Savior, you can start all over and start doing things the right way. Your past is past, so a good idea is to follow the light that is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If you do you will not reach another point in your life where you look back and have regrets. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and your blood washed away my sins. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. 

Amen! 

Praise The Lord!
