For most of us at one time or another have decided to lose weight, get into better shape or improve our looks with exercise and wholesome foods. We begin with endurance and enthusiasm that cannot be wavered until we get impatient for the results. We want the effects to be immediate.
Our spiritual life may be on the same rollercoaster…we want immediate results…We want God to answer our prayers in our timeline…we need help now…Yet it is will patience and understanding that our faith grows.
We must be diligent in our prayers, trust always and live with love in our hearts. God knows our needs and is never further than a prayer and quiet conversation. Actually our conversation does not need to be quiet…speak out and talk with God.
Know the joy of having that personal relationship with our Lord…feel the love of the Holy Spirit as we grow close to God. Being prayerful as we develop a closeness with Jesus gives us strength to endure stresses and challenges.
Improving our spiritual life is feeding our souls with the living food of God just as exercising is good for the body. We need both…let’s delight in the life God has given us…honor Him in our lifestyle and devotions.
Psalm 6:8 I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Having the gift of God’s love and mercy we are able to accomplish our goals and develop our relationship with Him. Let’s keep our connection to Jesus strong as we grow in faith and trust our Lord in all things. Be patient and enjoy the process.
Smiles & Blessings,
