Mistakes Can Turn Into Success: Look at these examples of bad turned good…
In a previous post, we talked about how our failures and mistakes can contribute to some of our insecurities. We tend to beat ourselves up for the mistakes we make. It never ceases to amaze me though how God can take our disobedience and mistakes and turn them into something beautiful. He can take something that I completely messed up and then turn it around to be a blessing to me and to others.
Did you know there are several products and inventions that came from mistakes? To name a few…the Slinky, Penicillin, plastic, chocolate chip cookies (thank goodness for this mistake!), potato chips, the pacemaker, silly putty, safety glass, microwave ovens, corn flakes, Post-it notes (another one of my favorites!), x-rays, superglue, popsicles, vulcanized rubber (i.e. tires), and matches. Here’s a fun read about the 20 Most Fascinating Accidental Inventions all originating from mistakes. I personally believe many of these mistakes turned success were probably God-inspired. There are stories throughout the Bible of mistakes turned success too.
