All things fail

"All things fail, but you, Lord of them all, never fail."
St. Teresa of Avila

All things fail.
Yesterday, the computer system in our research computing facility failed. As a result, a couple of us were not able to log into our own computer to do work. I know I fail at times too. When I choose sin over grace. When I choose self pity instead of self sacrifice. Blocking His grace to come and work on my imperfections. GK Chesterton would say, "The rare strange thing is to hit the mark; the gross, obvious thing is to miss it." How many times have I failed in believing this following verse?
But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me.

But you, Lord of them all, never fail.

The Lord never fails. He always succeeds. He is the epitome of perfection. The only logical thing for us to do is to trust. To trust in His providential plan. To believe that our hope is not a vain hope. Our hope is in a person who never fail to go beyond our own expectation. Jesus, I trust in You.
