Daily Devotional for May 9
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)
Failure as a Stepping Stone
While no one sets out to fail, failure can serve as an important stepping stone toward success. When you encounter failure, think of it as a lesson in what not to do.
This wisdom will guide you toward the right path and help you achieve your goals.
Pressing Past Challenges
Life presents you with many challenges, including fear, mistakes, and injustices. It’s up to you to find the courage within yourself to keep pressing forward, regardless of setbacks.
No one else can do this for you; only you can choose how to respond to challenges.
Courage to Keep Moving Forward
God has given everyone the opportunity to choose life and progress. When faced with difficulties, you can choose to respond with faith and courage, moving forward in life with purpose.
“The Lord makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him;
though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.” (Psalm 37:23-24)
Trust God to guide you through each step, and you’ll gain wisdom from every experience.
