when was the last time you settled for something that was not best.  or even for something that was wrong.  you know you want to do what’s right but instead you are satisfied with failure.

 in high school i play on several teams that were not very good,  few wins many losses.  we knew we weren’t very good; and some games it seemed like we didn’t care that we lost. we were satisfied with failure.

in our spiritual life we know what’s right to do, we know what we are supposed to do. so many times however we choose not to do what’s right.  we think that thought, says those words, go to the that place, whatever it is; we just don’t care at the time, we become satisfied with failure.

what’s keeping you back?

are you settling for second best, or worse?

are you satisfied with failure?

God wants so much more than that for us.  that’s why he says greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.  let’s stop relying on ourselves  and our own strength.  we need to trust in God’s strength and power to overcome our faults and sins.
