Have you ever failed miserably and started to feel totally incompetent for ministry or the Christian life? Take heart. All the faithful have been there. We have a tendency to walk off the narrow path Jesus leads us through and just give up. In reflection, that comes from our rather morbid focus on our sin, which leads to despondency. While the Lord would have us realize our weaknesses to keep us humble, He would also want us to realize His glorious strength to save to the uttermost those who believe. Look to Him, not within!
