The Nintendo 64 console was home to many of the best video game releases of all time, but that doesn’t mean that they always got it right. The same platform that gave us all-time classics such as Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and GoldenEye also brought us one of the worst games to ever exist… Superman 64. But this misfire didn’t cause Nintendo to quit making games or even give up on the Nintendo 64 hardware… they simply stopped releasing terrible Superman games and moved forward from that mistake. And it’s a good thing they did, because many of the N64’s greatest hits still remained ahead of them… patiently waiting on the other side of that “green ring flying” failure.

If the Lord was limited to using perfect people to accomplish His will He’d have a pretty short list of people to choose from, because we have ALL sinned and fallen short. And if our sinful failures disqualified us from being used by Him, we’d need to get rid of every part of the Bible that isn’t written in red letters. When His followers are ready to move forward in repentance, the Lord is waiting with nail-scarred hands of forgiveness. From Moses and David to Peter and Paul, the Lord didn’t give up on those who got it wrong but chose to finish their game strong… so let’s turn that page today. His best for us is yet to come.

My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14
