On Monday at our men's Bible study on King David, my Pastor asked us if we always had God's Word in front of us. Since I am a lay leader in our congregation, I was disappointed in myself when I realized it is not there all the time.
Work is were I am the worst at keeping it in front of me. I work at a retail job in the construction industry, a "worldly" place to say the least. I seem to fall so easily into the type of person I was before I answered Jesus' call. I know this is not just my problem. Many Christian men I talk to have the same problem. All we can do is continue to lean on our God. When we stumble, pick ourselves up (with His help), repent, and move on.
One thing I have noticed, the more time I spend studying His Word, the less I stumble and the faster I recover when I do. When I haven't been in His Word I stumble the most and the worst.
What's the old saying? If you don't use it you lose it...
