Don't take advantage of each other, but fear [respect] your God. I Am the Lord your God. Leviticus 25:17 NIV Bible
So, not long ago, I wrote a post about Rainy Day Christians, but realize that there are times when I'm more of a Fair Weather Christian, which means that I might only be focused on doing what the Lord God wants of me when things are good.
In pondering this further, that means that I'm taking advantage of the Lord God's forgiving grace, by going off in my own direction, when the mood suits me. He never does that. He's always there through both the good and the bad and everything in between!
It saddens me to think, I've been a Fair Weather Christian. When Jesus Christ was on the cross giving His life for me, you, and everyone, He didn't say, "Well, the mood doesn't suit me today, to give My life as a ransom for all. I think I'll just wait for a day that's more convenient and suits Me better."
Sometimes when I'm faced with an opportunity to share my faith with others, I find myself quickly reverting back to being fearful about how others will respond with me once I do this. I let my personal concerns interfere with what the Lord God wants of me. I'm embarrassed to say this happens, but it does. I think I'm beyond that, but when the opportunity comes up again, I'm back in that mode thinking that maybe someone else may be better suited for sharing their faith with this person than me.
Fortunately, for me, the Lord God isn't a Fair Weather God, and He is always there for me regardless of how many times that I back-step and loose my resolve to be a better example of how the Lord works in my life. I am very blessed that He reminds me when I start to drift away, and He quickly forgives my sins when I ask Him.
