Have you
had your Joy Juice today? It’s a good
thing…any way you look at it!
Author and
speaker, Susie Larson warns us that: “We can lose our way and our footing in a
heartbeat the minute we think life is good because we are good; or that God
owes us when life gets uncomfortable.”
The reality
is that we can NEVER be good enough to earn God’s favor! That’s why Jesus came!
And though God doesn’t owe us anything,
He wants to give us everything good! Jesus has paid the penalty for our
sins. That is enough! God proved His
love for us by giving us His Son.
Let’s be
cautious when we get to a point in our life that we begin to think we are
spiritually mature! Yes, we certainly want to grow in our Christian walk but
the process never ends. We should never stop learning! God often has to teach
us new things….and REteach some things we thought we’d already learned.
Dr Warren
Wiersbe explains:
“There are many
dangers to maturity as well as to immaturity, and one of them is
over-confidence. When we think we are strong, we discover that we are weak…Good
beginnings do not guarantee good endings. Experience must be balanced with
caution, for we never come to a place in our Christian walk where we are free
from temptation and failure…Yet, God provides a way for us to overcome.” IF
we will look toward Him!
Let’s aim toward spiritual maturity…all
the while depending on God to help us walk His path of joy, one step at a time!
