God is good, and I am not.

Here are the conclusions I have come to in the last few days.

God is good, and I am not.
I know that a lot of time this can sound really cliché, but the concept of right and wrong will dictate the entire way we live our lives. Think about it. If I were to just up and decide that I can go and get drunk on every night, then the next morning sing oh how I love Jesus . . . there is something wrong with my mindset. The problem is my view on what is right and wrong, is far, far from the truth that is found in God's Word which we know to be truth. Now how do we know when we are off from the straight and narrow. Well, it's actually very simple. If it goes against the Word of God, or if it offends your conscience, don't do it. God's word is never going to lead us astray if we read AND believe it.
Second, God is faithful.
Again, sounds cliché. Deal with it.
I found myself two weeks into the semester, so far from God I hardly knew even where I was, so I asked the Lord to show me something that I had to change in my life. (be careful when you ask for that, He will do it.) Pride. It was and will continue to be my biggest struggle. God absolutely crushed my pride on Sunday with the message from the church that I go to. Being friends with the world is to be the enemy of God, and that's just what the Word of God says, whether you like it or not.

Overall, I am so thankful for the Lord and all that He has done in my heart this last week. How awesome is His love for me that every time I mess something up again he just says, "pft, told you. now come back over here where you belong."


God is good, I am not. God is faithful. Praise Him for it.
