Mistakes Don't Define Us

Romans 5:17

17 For if, because of one man's
trespass, death reigned through that
one man, much more will those who
receive the abundance of grace and
the free gift of righteousness reign in
life through the one man Jesus
Christ.

Adam's mistake doesn't give a license to accept that we will sin, and embrace potential failure...his mistake reminds us that we may have trials, but if we failed bc we did our best then grace covers us. However, habitual sinning is not the idea behind knowing u are covered by grace...this will only lead to a greater downfall or hardship that u have willingly placed upon yourself for leaning on your own understanding, or embracing your desires vs God's guidance. God is freely waiting to direct our paths, but first we must give him an open invitation to do so. Many times I want the result without doing the work bc I'm tired or something just seems so good, but my efforts help dictate the quality of my harvest and my harvest determines how my needs will be satisfied through God's riches and glory. Let's work hard now to be able to play hard later, but first ask God to map out the agenda and write the vision to make it plain. Enjoy your day!
