Up until this point I have been in a “honeymoon” phase of my spiritual life. God protected me with grace, but now he is drawing back a little so that I can begin to see that I can do nothing without him. Absolutely everything depends on him! My marriage, my home, my family, my friends… EVERYTHING I have is not possible with out him!

 

But, why now? Why now does he want me to realize this… I have been praying for humility. My prayer has been that he might make me righteous and humble through him. God designs suffering, he purposes suffering in our lives only when it is necessary. Many times, trials, are God’s way of showing us something we need to change in ourselves.
