Failure is more common in life than success. Success is often the result of many failures. God uses trials and pain to purify us, and also to restore us and take us to a higher place. Success makes us proud of ourselves, but failure makes us humble and ready to trust the Lord. Failure is what God uses to lift us up to a place of complete trust in Him.

In this devotional based on John 10:10, Brian Houston highlights the key areas that the enemy will try to attack you, how you can restore what was stolen from you, and how to move on to live the life Christ has promised — so you can truly say with confidence, “I am blessed!”

We have a God who never fails to protect, guide, and save us. The evil that the enemy intended to use against you, God will use for good. In this plan, we will learn what to do when life changes in unexpected ways and how God uses those times.
