Many of us have a mental conception of what a Christian should be. We often times look at the saints of God and see failure and it causes us to either stumble in our faith or use their mistakes as human excuses to fail.Let’s look at it this way; God sets the standard we are to follow, those that fail, we are to look upon as simple detours to mistakes and examples of making choices apart from God’s will. The New Testament encourages us that when we have fallen and have been restored, to go and restore those that are falling….
The only purpose that you and I have in this life as a child God is to know Him! The very thing that you are looking for is God. The difficulties and trials, the casting about in our minds as to what we shall do this summer or tomorrow, all vanish away when we look to God. The simple fact of the matter is that, we have forgotten how to look to Him.
Now rouse yourself up and look to God. Do your utmost to build your hope on him. Seek Him in His Word and prayer…and do not give up. Beat your body and make it your slave; and do that thing which you know you should. Take your eyes off the problem, no matter if you have a hundred things that are pressing you, resolutely exclude them all and look to Him, and the moment you do, you will not be disappointed.
I love you and am praying for you today!
