There are few things better than when your life comes together. Your relationships are good, your job is going well, you’re faithfully reading your Bible and the sin you’ve struggled with seems distant. There are seasons where our lives feel good, we are grounded in our faith and bumps in our “spiritual road” don’t bother us much. Eventually, however, you will find yourself discouraged. This happens for many reasons and it’s often because you begin to pull away from God, believing that you need Him less. The small bumps in the road seem to suddenly turn into massive potholes. Let me encourage you not to forget Him and His blessings, and start to rely on yourself. Dont Abandon God for what we Think is the Best for Us! During these times believers overestimate their own strength; acting as though they are their own Superman, and as though they can tackle anything alone. They essentially abandon God for what we think is the best for them. Apart from God, they falter. However, this doesn’t have to happen! Creating consistency in your faith by intentionally remaining in fellowship with God and His people can steady you. As you hit your stride and things begin to click, remember to thank the One who has brought you to this place of consistency. If there is a steady stream of thanks and praise coming from your mouths and minds, you will seldom forget the One who is your Cornerstone (1 Peter 2:6). You will not again begin the errant Superman complex, but will remember that all good comes from Him, and not you. Are you in a season of consistency and strength? Thank God for authoring it today and come alongside others to bolster them in the Lord.
