Psalm 119:113-120

Psalm 119:113-120
English Standard Version (ESV) 

 We have a tendency to be double-minded.  We want to be Godly, but we tend to want something else more.  When it's convenient, we strive for Christ, but when we get caught up, busy & stressed out, we reach for what is easy.  We set our sights lower, seeking comfort and ease, rather than continuing to push towards the narrow way, loving selflessly and serving all.
  This will never change.  Our hearts are wired this way--we long for God, knowing that he alone can satisfy, and yet we are distracted by sin.  Let us not spend our lives abusing ourselves because of our weakness.  Let us instead give thanks for the one who died so that our weakness may not doom us, for the one who loves us despite our faithlessness, for the one who chooses us to love.

May we give thanks for the love of Christ today
