I just had an awesome conversation with my friend--Rosaflor that went from few minutes to four and a half hours! How can you contain that??!! We were catching up with each other's lives and ended up praising God for all the things He had done to each of us.
We talked about God's grace, knowing God's will (which includes never assume what the will of God is) and sharing my testimony on how God changed me inside and out. We also talked about the importance of prayer and reading the Word of God. We discussed matters that talks about breaking the bondage of law in a christian life.
We are all prone to temptations and sin that it would be impossible to conquer our daily battle without God's power. God's power comes from His very own Words. And His Word is essential to combat and win our daily battle.
We might hear countless times on how essential it is to read His Word and to live out His Word. But true as it may seem, we don't always adhere that. Why is that so? Because our own efforts fail us. We need His grace each day to live out the christian life. Even though how knowledgeable we might be with the Word of God, without practice, it's useless.
I'm not saying I perfectly obey His Word, or, that I diligently read His Word without fail, but I always ask God to fill me each day. I never wanted to just read His Word, but by the enabling grace of God, I eat it, digest it and put it in my heart. At times when temptation arises and is creeping in, I am always reminded of His Words. When I follow His Word, I conquer. But when I don't, I lose.
I'm just like you. A normal human being, capable of sinning and losing the right way. That is why I always come to a point of laying every burden to the Lord, praying to Him, being true to Him and then I wait on what He will do. No matter how talented, capable, skillful, or confident I am, these things are nothing compared to God's. My self I can never totally depend. So I'll depend on Him.
