It was in that simple, small moment that I realized I'd faultered. The Bible speaks of a "slow fade" into sin. Was I a sinner? Well, of course, for all sin daily and repent daily. In the book of Song of Solomon, it states that it's the foxes that spoil the vineyard, meaning that it's the small things that will ruin something.
I'd grown "too busy" and indifferent. I was just living life and life was good. But, I wasn't at the heart of who I am in God, of who I am in Christ Jesus.
Moreover, I'd gained some of my weight back. I wasn't eating as healthy. Even on the verge of beginning my first exercise class as an instructor, I seemed to have lost my enthusiasm.
My family life-great. My work life-great. But, while looking at those clouds, I realized that I had taken my eyes off of the Son!
Reader, maybe you've gone into a slump like I was! Hebrews 6:12 warns us not to be lazy in the ways of the Lord, but to have faith and patience and lay hold on the promises of the Lord.
When lost at sea, He is our Compass. When drowning in life's <fill in the blank here>, He is our Life Savor. When tossing to and fro, He is our Anchor!
Yesterday, my family decided to get back on track with our healthy eating. Today, I am getting back on track with the path that God is leading me through. And, my prayers are that you, my dear reader, will also always be able to find your way home to Him.
Love and prayers,
Julie
