Last week I was a good one for me. I enjoyed my various activities. Why can’t every week be that way? Perhaps I am looking at life in an inappropriate way. How can I mature and grow if life does not have some struggles? In fact in the New Testament a person responded to Jesus by saying he believed but then asked to help his unbelief.(Mark 9:24) How can a person have their faith increased if they never have it tested? I do not like struggling but I do think I need it to make my faith stronger.
I wish every week would go smoothly. At least I think I wish that fact. But God has many plans for my life that are designed to make me a mature disciple of Christ. Those plans may and probably will include struggling. So, with fear I ask God to help me grow up in Him.
