Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 2 John 1:9
How many of you went to church on Easter or recently and got fired up to keep going on Sunday? Or did you have a short-lived moment of being close to God and then further away as the week or weeks continued. While it is important to worship our Lord and Savior on Sundays in community, it is also important to continue that worship throughout the week. If you are trying to outrun God and His teachings, you won't be able to. We all need to remember that worshiping God and following His guidance once a week is not what He intended. We have to continue being refreshed and follow Him and the teachings daily. If we don't continue down the righteous path, we will not continue to get closer to Him. We need Him in our lives, for He eases our burdens and trials. Continue to respond to Him and His teachings and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
