I got to thinking today, we tend to ask God for help when we are in desperate need. We are struggling through life and the first person we turn to is God. And as usual, he is gracious to help us through.
But what about the good times? What about the times where life is swimmingly? What happens to God then?
Is it right to dismiss him? Is it right to not give him the same attention now that life is okay?
I should beg to differ. God gives us our blessings just as he gets us through our messings. Don't get me wrong, its hard to keep this thinking. Its easy to pass off a daily reading or the continuous thought of showing Christ in our lives. What it takes is self-control and discipline. We have to constantly remind ourselves of our purpose: giving God the glory.
I will try with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength to show Christ in my life; even with all of my highs and my lows. For I know that it is through Christ alone that I receive joy in the first place.
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again, Rejoice." Philippians 4:4
