"I am ok"

1 Corinthians 10:12
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

"I am ok". How many times have I said that even recently? Today as I laid with my baby thinking and praying I thought on the verse in 1 Cor 10. I feel like the last couple of days the devil has been attacking me in a different way. God showed me things over Easter week about His love for me. He also in the last week or two provided other sources of income which has given me a little more sense of security. There are also a couple of other things that have happened which just has me in a place of feeling that "I am ok". That I will be ok no matter what happens. This realization today is pretty scary to me. It to me means that I am not leaning 100% on God still. While it may be true that I am ok and that I will be ok no matter what happens I still need to have my heart and mind focused on God and not my situation.  How many times do I need to learn this lesson? No matter what my circumstances are whether they are bad or good or even just ok I need to lean on God ALWAYS. If I am not leaning on God then I am "thinking" that I am "standing". According to the verse that means I will fall. This "fall" would be yet another lesson of learning to lean and trust God. These are hard lessons.

Thank you, Lord, for recalling to my memory this verse and showing me quickly that I need to turn my focus to you before I needed to relearn the lesson again. Help me to always remember to lean on you no matter what is going on in my life. May I continually seek your face and trust you completely in my life. Thank you, Lord, for being my provider, my protector and my defender. In Jesus name, Amen.
