For The Cause Of Christ

I am constantly finding myself in situations where my patience is tested, at work, with my wife, in my life in general... I guess, finding direction. There are way too many times when I give in to the world, digging up old thoughts and habits. I usually find myself with a short circuit when I am waiting to hear from God. Unfortunately, Kristen usually sees the worst of it. I have never been good at math, and trying to add things up in general is a frustrating thing for me, but at the point when something has got to give I find myself trying to make things add up, and after my mind has been running non stop all day, and I let it all build up I am either short with my responses or I let it all fly. When I am seeking guidance I feel so attacked by the enemy, telling me to bring up the past when I have disagreements with my wife, or take a second look at that revealing image.I have two desires in life that should always be the deciding factor in how I go about my day they are: TO GLORIFY GOD and TO BE AN EXCELLENT HUSBAND. Any dissatisfaction I have with where I am right now at this point in my life is so minute compared to those two things. I am at God's disposal, no matter what my day has to offer I should be desperately at work for his kingdom and not for my gain and my comfort. I echo the words of Isaiah, here am I send me. God has given me so much and I will work hard to use my talents and passions to overcome my current struggles and focus on seeing souls saved, the lost run to Jesus... there will be victory in my life for the cause of Christ! I will be a loving, faithful husband and think of Kristen before myself, and acknowledge her feelings no matter what i bring home in this brain of mine!

I prayed to the LORD my God and made confession, saying,
"O Lord, the great and awesome God,
who keeps covenant and steadfast love with
those who love him and keep his commandments."

Daniel 9:4
