What is your response when the doctor gives you a bad report?
Are you filled with fear? Do you accept it as your cross to bear?
How about when your bank account is empty?
Do you put God and your family on the back burner to grind and hustle? Do you put the blame on God by saying He is trying to teach you something?
Our response to life's challenges tells us everything we need to know about our relationship with God.
If it's anything other than righteousness, peace, and joy, God is not at the forefront of our minds—He is not the priority.
For the Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy. If any of the three are missing, you've placed something else above God.
It's really simple to figure out when you need to run back to the presence of God. If sin, fear, or disappointment is present, repent—turn back to God.
He is waiting for you with mercy, forgiveness, and love.
