These chapters are amazingly honest in how they show us
examples of people doubting God and
yet coming back to Him in
belief.
“I had almost
stopped believing; I had almost lost
my faith because I was jealous of proud people. I saw wicked people doing well.”
It’s so easy to wonder why
sinful people seem to prosper and have fun.
Yet when we fall into that trap, here’s what happens:
“When my heart was sad and I was angry, I was senseless and
stupid. I acted like an animal toward You.”
Yet even when we
act like that, God doesn’t give up on us:
“But I am always
with You; You have held my hand. You guide me with Your advice, and later You will receive me in
honor. I have no one in heaven but You. I want
nothing on earth besides You. My body and my mind may become weak, but God is my strength. He is mine FOREVER.”
Father, I am sorry that I too still seem susceptible to
Satan’s lies. I should always know
better. Fatigue seems to be a perfect
catalyst Satan uses to do a number on me.
He loves to see me getting disgruntled or frustrated, because those
attitudes give him a place to stick his pry bar in and try to widen the cracks
in my armor. I’ve never seen anyone so bent
on my destruction as him!
Thank You for being even more bent on my salvation! Help me not to act like a dumb animal. Let me use
the sense you gave me to see when I am most susceptible to Satan’s
attacks and change course immediately. I’m
not entitled to head down paths that
can lead to my destruction, even for
a little while. I trust
You, Father. Help me to display that
trust in every decision I make. I don’t
want to leave You wondering what I
was thinking!
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
