Dear Friends,
The Glory of these Forty Days continues whether or not I notice, waiting for me to join in. Much of life is like that, the offer is there, and I just need to accept it. Christ came to redeem me, whether I want it or not, he came and redemption is offered. I must accept it however or the offer helps me not.
God gave me a certain set of gifts and challenges, whether I like it or not, and it is up to me to use those gifts and challenges to the best of my ability. Here we see a key pattern, God offers us, He never tempts us, but he gives us chances, we need to take them to fully realize the potential blessing. The saints give us a great example of what happens if we allow God’s will to govern us. As scripture says,
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:1-2
