A Friend in Failure

Bible in a Year:

Paul did not think it wise to take him, because he had deserted them.

Acts 15:38

On November 27, 1939, three treasure hunters accompanied by film crews dug through the asphalt outside of the Hollywood Bowl amphitheater in Southern California. They were looking for the Cahuenga Pass treasure, consisting of gold, diamonds, and pearls rumored to have been buried there seventy-five years earlier.

They never found it. After twenty-four days of digging, they struck a boulder and stopped. All they accomplished was a nine-foot-wide, forty-two-foot-deep hole in the ground. They walked away dejected.

To err is human—we all fail sometimes. Scripture tells us that young Mark walked away from Paul and Barnabas on a missionary trip “and had not continued with them in the work.” Because of this, “Paul did not think it wise to take him” on his next trip (Acts 15:38), which resulted in a strong disagreement with Barnabas. But in spite of his initial failings, Mark shows up years later in surprising ways. When Paul was lonely and in prison toward the end of his life, he asked for Mark and called him “helpful to me in my ministry” (2 Timothy 4:11). God even inspired Mark to write the gospel that bears his name.

Mark’s life shows us that God won’t leave us to face our errors and failures alone. We have a Friend who’s greater than every mistake. As we follow our Savior, He’ll provide the help and strength we need. 

By:  James Banks Reflect & Pray

What mistakes or failures have you faced recently? In what ways have you discovered God’s strength as you shared them with Him in prayer?

Jesus, thank You for being there whenever I want to talk to You. I praise You for the comfort and hope only You can give!

No big city for me thank you. Back woods is much better.

Over 90 degrees today. I used to be able to handle 130 but not now.

Opposing questions:

Do you want a lot of ethnic diversity where you live?

Absolutely
It's not the most important factor

And:

When it comes to safety...

Living in a low crime area is one of your priorities
You don't mind living in a (otherwise cool) high crime city

Of course, most FReepers associate "ethnic diversity" with urban crime, so the questions are contradictory unless someone does not mind urban crime. It did pick Honolulu for me, though I bailed out of there after 4 years for the far more rural west side of the Big Island.

It WAS the best theme song! Our high school band plays it during the half time of every playoff game.

I’d love to visit Honolulu during the cool season..if there is one. LOL!
