“Unbalanced”

Philippians 1:27

Unbalanced is defined as not properly balanced;  not even; unstable; irregular.

If we are to stay balanced in an unbalanced world we must recognize the tricks of the enemy and move forward in the will of the Lord. Our relationship with God can be complicated. We mess up, run away, and wander from Him. But on God’s end, the story never changes, He chases after us every time, no matter what. How can we understand the reasoning behind God’s actions and find the beauty in the imbalance? One of the most powerful ways God can show us His truth is through his people. The story of Hosea tells the story of our relationship with God, how He chases after us time after time. The story of Hosea shows us how God responds to the messes we create for ourselves. When we reject God and follow our own path, we often find ourselves in deeper trouble. God doesn’t just call us back, He buys us back. Even in our unfaithfulness and betrayal, just like Hosea buys back Gamer, our God loves us enough to pay a ransom for us. We are adopted into God’s family, forgiven of our sins, and gifted with eternal life through Him. 

I come by tonight to say, the only way to be free from this world’s lures and temptations is to forsake them all together by seeking Christ above everything else in a radical way. Be blessed and I love you!!! JE
