I've been trying to find time to write in the past days, and after finishing task and waiting for another to arrive, I am getting hold of this moment to write.
Sometimes in our lives, we get too caught up with work, daily routines, stress, and needs that we fail to do the important things of guarding our thoughts, minds, actions, and spiritual health. Then we'd realize we've gone too far from taking care of what matters eternally. We forget to read the Word of God. We miss to pray and devote ourselves in the Lord, and the many distractions and sins the enemy wanted to put in our ways. We justify our acts with how sinful human is, that we bear the sinful nature of human (like it's a license to sin), leading us to unknown hurts and aches we can't understand until the Godly sorrow that brings repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10) remind us to come to refocus on Him.
Being a child of God, I firmly believe in His promise that when He says He won't leave us, nor forsake us, He really won't. That when we've been tempted into neglect of important things and our sinful nature, He won't let us get drowned by it. He won't let us fall beyond what we can bear. He will provide a way out. Only we need to acknowledge that we need His power and help. The Holy Spirit will convict us. He will remind us of His love and grace until we see the light once again. Never let your heart be calloused and your hearts be hardened for if we fail to see His move and heed to His voice, it's going to be more painful and devastating.
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
The verse shares that there are temptations common to mankind, the next verse was important to the succeeding and ending words for it says that God is faithful for He won't let us be tempted beyond what we can and if we are tempted he will provide a way out. I might not be able to know how He will but I know He will. His ways are higher than us.
If we fall into sin:
1. Confess to God
2. Repent
3. Accountability - Be accountable for your actions and find people who can be accountable to you.
If we fall, He will always rescue us.
Isaiah 46:4 - Even to your
old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have
made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
Once we are rescued, restoration shall come when we build our lives to Him.
1. Go and sin no more. Remember His grace and the eternal rewards. The punishment from our sins was paid on the cross with the love, grace and obedience of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His grace should always hurt our hearts not to be enticed again.
2. Don't blame yourself. If the enemy is putting on shame, God is putting out the shame in us.
3. Guard your hearts and minds through the peace of God.
4. Battle sin with the battle of faith. Wear the full armor of God.
5. Live a life of satisfaction with God. Anchor your thoughts on His Word.
