Living in a world that calls to us every day, offering us the world, offering us success.....telling us if we lower this standard than we can obtain this... is often a struggle. But ultimately.......it is our choice to lower the bar to succeed or to choose spiritual progress and leave the bar up high...
I think it is often hard for us to choose spiritual progress because we want immediate satisfaction instead of waiting on God to bring the money for us to pay a bill we choose to get a loan. Instead of saving money....we choose to go out and spend the last twenty we have on material things that we think we need to succeed.
Every time you trust God, you are building on your relationship with Him and you are spiritually progressing. Often times we cant see God working behind the scenes, and it bothers us!! When you go to a play do you see the audio people who are handling the sound and the microphones? No......but it doesn't mean they have stopped working. They are still working behind the scenes. Just because the situation looks tough, and unbearable be assured that God is working behind the scenes. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you."
Don't lower the bar in hopes of success.........because true success is given by God and is only obtained when you allow him to work through you.

Amen Lexi.....I thank God for your insight and boldness to speak the heart of God. My prayer is that our choices will be those of spiritual progress over material success.
