FAILURES
Today's reading: Psalm 83-85

"...Make them failures in everything they do until they learn that you alone are called the Lord, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth." Psalm 83:17-18 NLT

Failure-lack of success; a falling short; someone or something that has not succeeded.

I'm in a season of life that is full of emotions. Emotions of every type, size and flavor.

We have a high school Senior in our home.

Every choice I watch him make looks different.

Every decision he is faced with seems bigger.

Every 'fork in the road' that he comes to at this stage seems more monumental.

I'm spending lots of time on my knees praying for God to lead him, for God to direct Him, for God to open doors for him that he needs to walk through.

And after this morning, I'm also praying for failures.

The kind of failures that will land my boy firmly at the feet of Jesus.

The kind of failures that will be good life lessons, godly life lessons.

The kind of failures that will remind him again and again how much he needs God in his heart and life.

Why? Because as much as I want this 'man-on-loan-to-me' to be successful, happy and an impact maker, I want him to know God personally.

That's my top priority as his number one fan, his biggest supporter, his funder and his mom.
