Slippery Slope

Lately I feel I have fallen. Fallen hard. I can't seem to put my finger on the time I put God on the shelf of my life. I thought I was putting God first when suddenly the scales have fallen from my eyes and I see that truly, I have been putting my wants and needs first. Some how I got the buggy before the horse without even realizing it. How can I stubbornly walk along stiff arming the Holy Spirit.

One thing is for sure. God gives us chance after chance after chance. I'm thankful for His forgiveness and grace in my life. Now that my eyes are open I can get off the throne of my life and let God's will lead me. I will keep an eye open for future slip ups. I cant believe how easy it is to fall and not notice it right away.

Another thing that amazes me is how God can continue to bless me even when I've failed Him. With a gentle whisper He tells me it's OK, get back up, dust yourself off, and keep going, I will lead you my son. He tells me I will get it right the next time. He tells me not to worry or dwell on my past failures but to keep my eyes on Him and walk by faith.

Well, don't feel too bad because not listening to the Holy Spirit in our human state is an easy thing to do. Thanks for posting on my blog, I appreciate it.
