We say we trust God and yet we continuously try to make our own way. We continuously try to determine which way "we" want to go. Could it be that God is leading us in another direction and we are choosing to go the way that "we" think feels right? We have to stop living based on our feelings. Everything that God has ordained for our lives is on the path that He has chosen and not necessarily the path that we want to take.
God's path does not set aside time where we can walk in intermittent sin. When something is intermittent, it is sporadic and irregular. It is broken and it is fragmentary. We tend to want to make pitstops. A pitstop is a stop in the pits for servicing and refueling, especially during a race.
The question is, what are we doing when we stop. What kind of fuel are we putting in? Are we putting in the fuel of God's Word or are we filling up on something that can eventually hurt us in the long run. Remember, different fuels are used for different purposes. We have to fill up on what is going to help us endure until we get to the finish line that God has prepared for us. We don't want to breakdown in the process of life. We need to finish this race well.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
2 Timothy 4:7-8
King James Version (KJV)
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8 Henceforth
there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the
righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto
all them also that love his appearing.
