A Little Bit at a Time Part 2 of 2

Take a moment to think about that last time you overcame in an area. Didn’t it make you feel good? The other day, while in the kitchen with my husband, the opportunity to be a know-it-all presented itself. In the past, I’d happily jump on the opportunity. But, I have been praying for God to change me in this area for a long time. I kept my mouth shut and resisted the temptation to be a know-it-all. Now I’ll be honest, it was so hard to not say anything that I had to fold my lips in and hold my hands behind my back (really ). But after it was all over, I felt so good! I left the kitchen smiling and praising God for helping me to overcome in that situation.  Little victories such as those keep the sparks in our spiritual  lives. They even cause us to look forward to the next victory.

Woman of God, don’t be discouraged if you don’t see immediate progress in an area of your spiritual life. Often times, the enemy will throw our short comings in our faces only to discourage us from pressing on to overcome them. Don’t stop asking for God to change you. Just because change doesn’t come right away doesn’t mean it won’t come at all. Through God, you will have the victory. Even if it is a little bit at a time.
