Micah 6:8 (NKJV) 8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?
Trials come and go in the life of every believer, as do times of refreshing.
We go through seasons of plenty, seasons of famine, seasons of peace and tranquility, and seasons of intense battles.
This is a fact.
We can learn many things about ourselves if we watch how we react to the various situations and seasons in our lives.
The way we handle things can be very telling.
Fear, anger, anxiety, and worrying are emotions we may experience during times of difficulty.
How do we behave during seasons of plenty, or seasons of peace and tranquility?
Are we content? Do we display God’s peace?
How about our walk with God? Is it consistent and stable?
Or do we fail to continue pressing into Him during times of ease and abundance, saving that only for times of need and desperation?
The answers to all these questions will show us our strengths and our weaknesses.
As we use these questions to “check ourselves,” we must be careful not to let what we see cause us to despair, or to glory in ourselves, but to show us where we need to build our muscles, and where we need to give God the glory and honor.
Our goal should never be to become a “superstar believer,” but to grow and mature in Christ that we might develop stability in God, walking in faith and humility no matter the circumstance.
So let us seek Him in prayer, elevate Him in every aspect of our lives, and follow the examples of Christ as He walked among us and demonstrated love, mercy, hope, compassion, and stability in God.
