June 9 | Daily Devotion | How God Uses Failure To Shape Us | Zac Poonen
Summary
God allows failure for two primary purposes: to prevent us from becoming spiritually proud of our victories or blessings, and to keep us humble enough that we do not look down on others who have failed. The speaker uses Peter's denial and subsequent ministry as an example, noting that Peter's memory of his failure was what sustained his humility and allowed God to use him. Ultimately, failure serves to teach us our utter helplessness apart from Christ.

The speaker discusses how God uses failure as a tool to humble us and prepare us for ministry, citing the example of Peter. He contrasts the tendency of some preachers to induce guilt with the need to encourage people toward hope. Ultimately, he emphasizes that while we focus on short-term comfort, God operates with a long-term perspective, using trials—even failures—for our ultimate good.
