Deut 32:15a “But Israel soon became fat and unruly….”
It is easy to cling to God when life is falling apart. When all my jumbled brain can pray is “Please, Jesus. Please, Jesus. Please, Jesus,” my need for Him is never in question. But when life is going well, when everything seems right and abundant, when my desperate need for His presence gives way to the opportunity to actually get to know Him more, that’s when it sometimes gets tricky.
Deut 32:15b “…the people grew heavy, plump, and stuffed!”
I’d like to think I’ve gotten better as I’ve gotten older. I’d like to think that because of the times that I’ve needed Him so desperately, I’ve gotten better at praising Him and sitting at His feet, soaking up His presence, learning Him more, even when life is going well. I definitely know that there is always room for improvement in my relationship with Christ. I’m thankful for the opportunity.
Deut 32:15c “…Then they abandoned the God who had made them….”
Lord, Thank You for this day, for this scripture, for being my Rock and my Salvation always. Thank You for holding me together when the world is falling apart and for sitting with me quietly when life is sailing along. Thank You for allowing it to be well with my soul because You are at my center. Draw me closer. Help me always to seek You. Amen.
Deut 32:15d “…they made light of the Rock of their salvation.”
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
