Grace for your spirit. March 16, 2012

Grace for your spirit
Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling, my steps almost slipped. For i was envious of the arrogant. as I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Psalm 73:1-3

God is good all the time, but unfortunately we are not. Like Peter walking on the water. While his eyes were on the Master, he was all right, but when he looked at the waves, he started to sink. When we start focusing on the arrogance of the wicked and their prosperity, we step off the path of safety into a large pothole. Proverbs 23 says, "Do not let your heart envy sinners, but live in the fear of the Lord always" If our religious doctrine does not acknowledge God as Lord of all, and it does not help us conform to godliness, and gives way to the lusts of the flesh, we have the wrong religious doctrine. When we allow His righteousness to make us righteous, our slipping and stumbling will be less all the time. Let's set a goal of being pure in heart for our God.
