	FACING FAILURE Near the end of World War II the cruiser Indianapolis was sunk in the Pacific by a Japanese submarine at a great loss of American lives. The commanding officer survived and was court-martialed. Secretary of the Navy, James Forrestal, in discussing the affair with then Chief of Naval Operations, Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, questioned the ramifications of the court-martial. "What will a court martial do to the captain's career? Has there ever been a ship's captain who was court-martialed and later promoted to admiral?" asked Forrestal. "You're looking at one," Nimitz replied. He went on to relate how as a young officer he had commanded the USS Decatur, an old destroyer. He grounded his ship in the Philippines, was court-martialed and convicted of "hazarding a ship of the United States Navy." Who would have guessed that the court-martialed Nimitz would one day wear five stars and direct operations of the largest Navy the world would ever know. Nimitz refused to let his mistake destroy him. Rather than cringing with embarrassment and hiding in despair, the young officer determined to be a more professional and careful naval officer in the future. God's Word contains numerous stories of men thought of as heroes of the faith, who at one time were gross failures. Jacob, Moses, David, and Peter all bombed. But each rose from failure to be a mighty man of God. Three principles for facing failure are evident in their actions. They didn't hide. They kept moving forward. They talked to God. If you have failed, don't quit. Don't bury your mistakes. Get up! Start moving ahead! Tell God you've messed up and ask him for the strength not to repeat the error. The only failure God can't forgive is the one you try to hide.
