The meaning of fail is to be unsuccessful in achieving one's goal.

"he failed in his attempt to secure election". Neglect to do something.

There are 88 Verses About Fail from 27 Books of the Bible.

Fail a four-letter word that can carry such huge scars… Life is such a learning experience every moment of every day. When thinking about this word my mind raced to my childhood and school. It's there I learned there is punishment with failure.  We all have been there at one time or another. Its those graded papers fault. Those terrible red marks.. yikes. As if the red marks are not bad enough we then had to share this news with our parents… And there is where you were given the final dispensation for the crime commented. 

Our value system is based on these milestones of life. But when I look to the Bible for help. I see where failure turned in the hope. Because you see its not the failure that truly defines who we are. It is how well we run the race!!  

And then I had this question, did we fail Jesus at the cross? I do believe many viewed Him that day and said. We stopped His Mission He failed. But the beauty of His love is, it never fails. Because that day what some viewed as a failure turned out to be the greatest LOVE story ever told.

So today do we ask ourselves can we love Him enough to show the world He did not fail? And that His Mission of LOVING us so much was indeed a success. It was a success not because of us, but because He was willing to do whatever it would take to complete the mission. A mission set before Him by our Heavenly Father. 

It was such a monumental sacrificial gift. One that we can never repay. It did leave me with this thought. I feel, at the end of every day when we talk to HIM, we should ask, did we run a good race? and did we love you enough? 

You will find that in dealing with Him there is no failure… He will pick you up, He will dust you off, tie your shoes, and say. Let’s try that again tomorrow my child. This time take me with you. He will never leave you. Your success in life depends on Him. He will always be there cheering you on. He will greet you with a high five and a smile as you cross the finish line.  

It’s Him It’s always Him. 

Be strong and courageous, don't be afraid, nor be scared of them: for the LORD your God, it is He who does go with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6.

"Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." Corinthians 13:8, NIV:

.

In the NKJ Bible, the word door is used 159 times. 125 times in the Old Testament and 34 times in the New Testament.

An opening for entering or leaving a house, tent, or room.

In life, doors are either opening or closing... Some may even slam shut!  Leaving us mad, or bewildered and confused or possibly even 

thankful ?? 

In our present-day, we have locked the doors to our homes, businesses, churches. Many have listened to authorities and have virtually hunkered down and rolled up the carpet and are passing the time with family.

A situation forcing us to evaluate what is important. It is crushing the economic health of our lives. It's affecting how we conduct our relationships with the outside world. Keep your distance rule. It SAFE but lacks our human need to touch, belong, hug, or just hold hands. 

Times are sad for many. But I truly feel there is good news among this challenging time... I feel and have witnessed many are finding comfort by opening the door to their heart like never before. In the midst of these uncertain times, many are feeling that tug of their heart and hearing 

God's subtle whisper in their soul. 

I, like many of you, have heard when God closes one door He will open another ...That statement is resonating in homes across America. We have closed the physical doors to life as we know it but have opened the spiritual doors like never before. 

Yes, these are unprecedented times. The Bible tells us Jesus is available for anyone who is ready to knock.  

So, lay back, close your eyes, get very still, and listen... You will hear and feel the door to your heart-opening.  You will experience love and unbridled curiosity and passion to know Christ like never before!! It’s in times of stress and anxiety that we can truly feel His presence. He is just on the other side of the door. He says knock ..  I say open it!! Embrace Him and love Him like you have never loved him before... He is the ONLY answer!! 

It’s Him, it’s always Him. 

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.REV 3:20 NIV

The word behold appears in 1,527 instances in the Bible.

Meaning of Behold to see or observe (a thing or person, especially a remarkable or one)." The botanical gardens were a wonder to behold"

Behold is from Middle English beholden, from Old English behealdan(“to hold, have, occupy, possess, guard, preserve, contain, belong, keep, observe, consider, behold, look at, gaze on.

Behold. Is this a word that is time-stamped and dated? It is no longer used in our day to day activity. Have we as a society lost our luster for the beauty of language? Have we traveled so far that we have lost the true meaning of our heritage? Our language has evolved into emojis and random texts😳. Can we turn back to a value system and speak eloquent words of romance and love and caring? 

Behold… if given the task to incorporate this word in our lives just how would we use this word? I can only speak for myself and how my journey has unfolded. When I look at the word behold. I would use it to describe a LOVE that transcends time and space.  I do believe this LOVE etched His name on my heart. On a special day in May when He touched my soul. 

This word Behold can only speak of God the Father, His beautiful Son, and the very breath of God Himself the Holy Spirit.  They are the only ones that truly deserve and possess such a bigger than life status.  The word behold demands and complements, one of royalty, one of beauty, and one that leaves you breathless and in awe.

If I was given the task of introducing Him to you. I would definitely use the word Behold…  and tell you I call Him LOVE because there is no one in heaven or on earth that possesses such Glory… and depth of LOVING!!

So, did we as a society, truly stop using this word in general conversation because we knew…It was reserved for someone greater than life itself?

How does He bring such beauty and grace through the ages? Behold…

It's Him, Its always Him  

I am sharing the interesting fact below. 

As I tried to understand this word I began by dissecting the word in 2 parts and this is what I found. 

(the meaning of the words) 

1. BE 2. HOLD 

1.   BE intransitive verb. 1a: to equal in meaning: have the same connotation as symbolize God is love 

2.   HOLD Noun - power or control. 

He blows my beholding mind !!! WOW!!

No man can behold all my glory, Moses 1:5. 

And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; Gen 9:9

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29

Behold (Then Sings My Soul) - Hillsong Worship

Surrender meaning Yield Upward. Surrendering all to God means to yield upward rather than to our current circumstances. 

The word surrender or various words utilizing the mean of surrender appears in the Bible 35 instances. 

Surrender is it the opposite of having power?? Or is the act of surrender seen by others as an act of weakness? I do think when we look at surrender with our human eyes, we see weak, we see discourage, we see the loss of control?? But by digging deep within, and with the guidance of our loving God. 

I would like to look at surrender from another vantage point...Sometimes the best strategy is not always from a weak surrendered position. But from a position of truly looking at the bigger picture. Surrendering to God does not strip us of the elements that make us who we are. 

Letting go and letting God puts us in a state of acceptance, growth, refinement, and begins a transformation that only God can orchestrate.  However, I will simplify. God cannot help us get to our destination unless we give him the keys to the car... in this case our heart. 

So, when we pray and ask Him for help, with finances, with relationships, or with any of our life trials... Be prepared to give Him the keys... If you sit in the passenger seat and continue to shift the gears ... forward, neutral, reverse ??? Eventually, the car will not function as it is intended and eventually the gears will be stripped ... That is when you will realize you could have avoided all the pitfalls in your “life’s journey.” If you would have only surrendered. You should have Let Go and Let Him manage all aspects of your (Life) trip. 

Because you see God will always be sitting in the driver's seat. And you realize you were too stubborn, and could not see the big picture. You would not let go of the gear shift. But one day you will come to a crossroad, a road eventually we all must travel and there you will be so weak you will willingly surrender ... 

So, I suggest that we surrender from a position of strategy by looking at the bigger picture. He is sitting in the driver’s seat!!! So, Let go, give him full control! And then Kick back and enjoy the ride.

So, the decision becomes do I surrender my keys now or do I wait until I am weak, and I surrender them anyway.

I would further ask what is it that we value so much in this world that we would not want to surrender to Him??? Personally, He already has my keys. I gave them to Him when I surrendered my heart. And now like any child, I ask Him... are we there yet!!! Because it’s been a heck of a ride so far.

It's Him. it’s always Him. 

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 1 Peter 5:6 -10 ESV

     Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you hear his voice, Hebrew 3:7             

In the King James version. the word - breath - appears 42 times. the word, breathe appears 4 times. The word breathed appears 4 times

Breath is used in the Bible as a powerful symbol of the life-giving presence of God. Like God Himself, the air we breathe is invisible, odorless, and tasteless—it cannot be perceived at all unless it moves. It is usually peaceful and still, but it is a reservoir of enormous power. 

(answersingenesis.org)

As we breathe our first breath at birth, we are given the gift of life from our creator... So innocent, fresh, and sweet. This miracle of how we rhythmically breathe without much thought is amazing. 

However, when we stop and think about the power of God’s breath, and how He breathes the Holy Spirit’s sweet existence into our soul. It truly is mind-blowing.

The Bible does teach us that He breathes the Holy Spirit into the very essence of who we are, I think He does this to communicate with us on a spiritual level. The Holy Spirit is sent to guide us, to comfort us, and to bring us unexplainable joy. 

One of His many functions is to teach us more about The Father, The Son, life and love, and how we should conduct our lives here on earth. He also reveals more about Himself as He communes with us daily. What an amazing gift!! God has trusted us enough to give us a special part of Himself, and we call that gift the Holy Spirit.  

God’s breath can come as a gentle whisper or it can come as a rushing mighty wind...He possesses a gentleness that is beyond compare. But He also possesses a relentless power that can move heaven and earth, to chase the ones he LOVES. 

I stand in awe in His presence! And say, yes you can fall in love with the Holy Spirit ...He is a beautiful gift from our Heavenly Father’s own breath.  I believe this gift comes from the deepest chamber of the Father's heart!! 

So, I feel when our Father entrust us with this gift. We must do everything in our power to cherish the gift that He gently has placed in our soul. This gift will remain ingrained in our hearts until He calls us home. Where and when we can feel the sweetness of His breath again.

Its Him, Its's always Him.

“As long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils,” Job 27:3 NIV

“And with that, he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. “John 20:22 NIV

“So, in the end, we will all die. People will bury our dead bodies under the ground. Our spirits will return to God.”

Ecclesiastes 12:7 EASY

“In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” Job 12:10 NIV.
