No one wants to talk about failure, but we all miss the mark from time to time. Even our biblical heroes like Noah, Abraham, and Moses did things they shouldn't have done. But when we mess up or our circumstances seem dire, God steps in to make things right. That's the beauty of an unfailing God, One who is with us every step of the way.

The Bible is full of struggle, failure, and denying God--Noah's drunkenness, Moses's temper, David's sins of lust and murder. But God... Ever since the garden of Eden, listening to the right voices has been critical when it comes to turning our troubles into future blessings. While failure may feel like losing, un-failing is finding the courage to hand over our dreams, goals, and plans to God and following through.

In Un-failing: Stumbling Our Way into God's Unlimited Goodness, authors Shane Stanford and Anthony Thaxton explain how viewing failure as an opportunity for spiritual growth can help us through experiences and seasons when we seem to have lost our way. From God's perspective, knowing that free will means we won't always do things His way, failure provides an opportunity for us to turn to Him. No matter what we do, His love is unfailing, and He makes all things work together for our good.
