falling away
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."- Proverbs 3:5-6
A lot of the questions I have involve falling away, and the thing that shakes my faith the most is the stories of people falling away, becoming embittered at God at the church for various reasons - usually because they've been burned out.
"It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace."
- Hebrews 6:4-6
Scary. I think learning not to lean on my own understanding is perhaps the hardest and most crucial thing for me to commit to.

yeas, most definitely leaning NOT on our own understanding is the hardest thing to do because that's us putting down our towel and actually letting God take control.
ReplyDeletethere will be time when we feel like this, but just truck on. its during these times that we need to remember what God has done the most.
keep fighting the good fight bro! God's got yo back!
