“Even today we have people who live an inconsistent Christian life because they have become preoccupied with things that are external. Therefore they focus on their circumstances rather than focusing on God. And God desires that we grow in our ability to see Him in everything and to realize the importance of seemingly insignificant circumstances if they are used to deliver a message from Him.
The world says that “seeing is believing,” but God wants us to believe in order to see. The psalmist said, “I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living” (Ps. 27:13 NASB).
Do you believe God only when your circumstances are favorable, or do you believe no matter what your circumstances may be?”
(Streams in the Dessert, July 24)
This is super helpful as I think about my attitude lately because of my circumstances and I’m reminded of deeper, far more valuable, lessons God is teaching me through those very circumstances.
Lice is like sin. We need to be persistent and check our heart, our life, daily and repent so we can have that abundant life God desires and truly live for him.
