Preach Through My Lyrics

Have you ever done or said something then looked back and wondered if that was really you or someone else? Are there times when you have thought of yourself as a very ‘good’ person then somehow something happens and you realize you are probably not that ‘good’ after all? counsellingacf.com When such things happen I am reminded that apart from Christ there is really no good in me. Our righteousness is as filthy rags to Him because it is Him who works in us to will and to do that which pleases Him. Anything that we do without Him is like building on straws.

I once read somewhere that if faith was easy then everyone would be perfect at it. This however is not the case. Many people, even the greatest people in the bible at some point would get discouraged when things didn't seem to work as soon as they had hoped for or in the manner of which they had anticipated. Abraham had a son out of God's promise, Paul prayed so hard for God to take away the thorn in his flesh, David fell not once or twice but many times and then we have Job's story very clear. We may see these instances as failures but what if this is where you are strengthened?
