Blow them away like chaff in the wind—
a wind sent by the angel of the Lord.
6 Make their path dark and slippery,
with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.
7 I did them no wrong, but they laid a trap for me.
I did them no wrong, but they dug a pit to catch me.
8 So let sudden ruin come upon them!
Let them be caught in the trap they set for me!
Let them be destroyed in the pit they dug for me. Psalm 35:5-8

Well, I’ve heard differing teachers’ opinions–I’ve heard that Believers don’t reap what they sow (according the the Law)…although there are natural consequences to all that we do, for good or bad. God can still make good from our bad, and it doesn’t change His love for us. I guess sometimes it alters the destiny He planned for us…although I’m not even 100% sure on that, because the Word says He’ll finish the good work He began in us–so it sounds like His mighty power can fix just about any screw-up man can get him/herself into, and still place him where God knows he’ll succeed, and bring glory to Himself. Ponder, ponder…
I think I agree with this after all isn’t grace all about restoring what we have broken. I think once it is brought into the light of Christ even our direst mistake is worked into His plan somehow.
I agree with you, Pastor J–and it is so comforting to know that He works ALL things together for our good. Grace is so wonderful, and the supply never runs out…I just get impatient with my own process/progress.
I feel the your pain. Just the other day I was talking to God about this frustration over something in my life “I wasn’t fixing fast enough”.
And you know what–I think that although He doesn’t want us to fret so much, He must be glad that we want to be/do “better” 🙂
I agree.
