Corinthians 7:10. “ For God can use
sorrow in our lives to help us turn away from sin and seek salvation.”
During the winter months
while we live in our little motor home,
I love to receive calls from our children.
I have noticed when they are experiencing hurts and anguish or sorrow,
the phone calls increase. Last year our
beautiful grand daughter was experiencing “growing” pains. As she brought pain upon herself and her
family, I was privileged to be kept “in the loop” of communication. Her parents called often. They needed reassurance and feedback from us
that the discipline measure they were administering for the situation was
okay.
I am thankful that this winter has
been easier for them and we haven’t received as many phone calls.
I believe we are the same, in
sorrow, as our children. When we
experience hard times we realize our great need for Christ but when things are
going well, we often neglect our prayer life.
By spending more time in communication with the Lord we move toward him
and the closeness gives us peace and assurance of his presence. As we grow closer to our Father, our lives
reflect his love and keep us from sinning.
Prayer for
Today: Heavenly Father, Forgive me for neglecting you. I know you still love me even though I seem
to forget about you. Your love is ever
present! When I wander from you it is
not you who moves but it is me! Help me
to communicate and learn to hear your
voice. When I am close to you, you keep
me from sinning but when I wander away it becomes easier for me to stray from
your will. I love you Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.
