Maybe someone was instrumental in bringing us to Christ or we have great admiration for a certain pastor or leader. But is that person becoming an idol? Are they taking the place of God in our lives?
If we want our lives to be refined and to grow in our faith, we must give the Holy Spirit permission to do His most important work of convicting us of areas in our lives that need changing; and then, we need to acknowledge these areas and respond accordingly.
Father, let us be churches that are known for celebration. Let us set up figurative stones of remembrance so that we can be reminded of your faithfulness on a regular basis. Help us not to forget who you are and what you have done through us.
Before God deals with other human relationships, He begins with family. “Honor your father and your mother.” Family is very important to God. Few things can bring us as much pleasure in life as our families. And few things can bring us as much pain in life as our families.
Go to God before you go to people. Ask Him for what you need then trust Him to provide it. God loves you with all His Heart. He wants you to trust Him just like a child trusts Him as their Heavenly Father.
What would marriage be like if we never conversed? What would it be like never sharing our feelings or our daily experiences with each other? What if we always sat silently in front of the TV? We wouldn’t have much of a relationship. We would be two people co-existing. Roommates. Business partners.
