1. The Lord gives so much instruction
in the Word, it could feel overwhelming
at times. It could also discourage us if we
start to feel pressured by it, or that we’re
not making spiritual progress fast enough, or
that we’re not doing enough.
But the Lord doesn’t expect perfection
from us, nor does He measure our progress
alongside others’ progress. He knows that we
are each unique and different, and that we each
have our own pace in which we move along in our
spiritual journey.
What He looks at is our heart and how sincere
and committed we are to our relationship to Him. As
long as we’re taking steps toward whatever it is He
asks of us, that’s all that matters. Even if our steps
of progress are small, these will please Him.
For example, if all we can do is memorize one verse
a week, or read a short passage from His Word each
day, and that’s what the Lord has asked of us, then
He’s happy with us for that.
The Lord takes each of us where
we’re at, so we should give no place to
discouragement if we’re doing our best to
progress spiritually.
