HE KNOWS THAT WE ARE HUMAN
We have such high expectations for ourselves and we feel that is God’s expectations for us, as well. WE KNOW THAT HE IS A HOLY GOD, PERFECT IN EVERY WAY, AND WE KNOW VERY CLEARLY THAT WE ARE NOT. However, we often feel like He doesn’t understand that about us and He expects us to be perfect and have everything just right in our lives. It’s such a disappointment for you and I as we struggle with habits and consistent mistakes and find ourselves aware of all our shortcomings so we get constantly discouraged.

1 JOHN 5:3 SAYS, “HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT BURDENSOME.” Since God‘s Word is always true and we are often wrong, we ought to merge God‘s truth with our own feelings and understanding. It requires study of the Bible for understanding. PSALM 103:10 SAYS, “HE DOES NOT TREAT US AS OUR SINS DESERVE OR REPAY US ACCORDING TO OUR INIQUITIES.” We clearly see this every day as we fight this battle of godly living versus worldly temptation. It is necessary that each of us fight really hard to see the Lord as a coach, cheering us on, and as a player walking through all of these trials and temptations with us.
