Sept. 29, 2013

Luke 12:  48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked/

So many times I have been thankful for the gift of faith I have received.  Here is the flip side.  So much more is expected of me b/c of that!  It is not enough to be as good as others who lack faith--I am held to a higher standard.

GULP!  I try, I really do.  But then life intervenes.  I am busy; I don't feel well; Ron is going through another trying time; other people hurt my feelings.  How quickly I let myself slide into sinful ways!

Prayer:  Lord, strengthen me so that I can bring You all that you expect of me.  I know that I have been given so many blessings, and I am thankful for the faith which gets me through the trying times.  Help me rise to Your expectations for me; help me to find and fulfill Your will for my every day.  Amen
