Messy life, messy journey
March 26, 2018
Life is messy. No wonder our spiritual journey gets messy. No life is without its challenges. Which means our spiritual journey is thrown onto a new path. We can learn to navigate it well, or stumble, or fall.
Devastating diagnosis, betrayal in a relationship, succumbing to sin, though wanting to follow Christ. What do we do? Run to Him, pray, ask for wisdom, ask for protection from doubt, double mindedness. He can direct us to keep standing, He can pick us up as we stumble, He can lift us after falling.
for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again. We ask not just for forgiveness, but for cleansing. We are spiritually stronger for the struggle.
