A New Perspective

You know those Bible passages that you read once and in the moment you're like, "Oh that's good stuff! I should remember this!" Then later, when you really need the encouragement from the passage you can't seem to recall it? Well I've been reading "Conformed to His Image" by Kenneth Boa lately and let me tell you, there are a lot of good Bible passages referenced in there! I was really discouraged these past couple of weeks with my relationship with God, I was not focused on Him, I was being ungrateful and discontented. I was failing to recognize or acknowledge how good God is! One quote that I read this morning that I want to highlight from Boa's book is, "Our daily choices shape our habits, and our habits shape our character. Our character in turn guides the decisions we make in times of stress, temptation, and adversity. In this way, the godly actions of maturing believers are outward displays of increasing inner beauty." But one of the most important things that I often forget is that life isn't about me! I just cannot believe how much God continues to pour out His blessing on me even though I am so unfaithful! I may be on another spiritual high for now but I know that God is always working and he will continue to do so! :) Praise the LORD!!
