Have you ever played, “Let's Make a Deal” with God? “God, I will do this, if you will do that?” And guess what? God does that, but you don't do this. I’d venture to say you’ve probably done that before. Every single one of us has tried at one point or another to make a deal with God, and we have fallen flat on our face. We’ve failed. Failure seems to be part of life. But I want to discuss how to handle failure in a positive way. When we are looking at how to handle failure in a positive way, Simon Peter (of all the disciples) can teach us about failure. Just like us, he was pretty good at failure. He actually disowned Jesus in the worst moments of Jesus’ life. So as we look at this account of Simon Peter’s life, we can learn a lot about failure and how to grow from it.
