Finding Your Destiny Part 5

Chapter 13............ (

Today we are with our friends Troy & Edith in Honduras)

Now Paul and those with him left Paphos by ship for Pamphylia, landing at the port town of Perga. There John Mark left them and returned to Jerusalem.  But Barnabas and Paul traveled inland to Antioch of Pisidia.   Acts 13:13-14

 

Mark decided to leave the ministry team.  He wanted for some reason to go home.  He failed.

 

Failure is a great teaching experience if we let it.

 

Mark recovered, and ended up spending years in Rome working with Peter.  He wrote one of the four biographies of Jesus. 

 

Paul wrote:

 

Bring Mark with you when you come, for he will be helpful to me. 

                                                                                                            2 Tim 4:11

 

Principle:

 

Your  failures may be the most important preparation for the great work that God has for you.

 

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even through checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory or failure.”                                                                                                                                                    Theodore Roosevelt
