I have a friend who’s trying to find through the fog of doubt. While he still believes that God is good, much of what he’s experiencing seems to contradict that. He’s questioning the value of virtue because he sees another person’s vice on go unfinished. Although he knows that he ought to enjoy his walk with God, right now it’s more duty than delight.
I also have an acquaintance that seems to be trying to hold on to God with one hand while clutching her sins in the other. To anyone who’s questioning the value of walking with God, I would reply: saying no to selfish choices and saying yes to Gods commands may not be easy, but it’s the only way to experience true and lasting joy.
Psalm 112 declares the person who respects God and wants to please Him will enjoy his favor. The doesn’t guarantee a trouble free life, of course, but it does assure us that we can have peace even in the tough times.
We can delight in knowing God’s blessing is on us, even when the road is not easy.
