... okay, we know we are here to become more and more like Christ and to represent Him well, push back the gates of hell by His grace and strength and bring glory to Him... this is an established fact...We can walk along in our life, trying really hard, focusing on Him, drawing closer and seeking Him... getting to know Him more and more, more successful at times than other times.. all along trying to figure this out... being blessed as we are... getting used to the areas we are struggling with, in His grace getting a handle on it , one breath at a time, one little baby step at a time....
And then... life throws us a curveball... and all of a sudden we are finding ourselves in different circumstances and confronted with areas we never thought we would ever struggle with...
I am sure that happens to all of us at one point in our lives...this could be a bit of a problem, it could throw us off, make us feel as if we are not as closely connected to Him as we thought.. we could start doubting, we could start beating ourselves up... we could become discouraged and because of that be even more unsettled and loose the grip on walking with Him...
when confronted with new challenges in regards to walking with Him closely we need to trust that He who started a good work in us will bring it to completion, He is not surprised at the curveball or the new challenges...He allowed it to prove to us that our faith is indeed genuine and will result in praise , glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed....so, rather than beating ourselves up and feeling guilty if this is not as easy as we think it should be, we need to again draw closer, repent and keep on keeping on, relying 100% on Him who has given us everything for leading a godly life when he gave us the faith to believe...
Circumstances change, challenges will always be there.... the only constant is the Author and Perfecter of our faith... the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords....to Him be all glory forever AMEN
