Just interviewed with the representatives from a federal government agency yesterday morning. They seemed to really like me, despite my being less eloquent and clear with my statements than normal. I even made the simplest mistakes when addressing and greeting them in a professional manner (that's unusual). It just demonstrates that if God is with me (i.e., Joseph and David), I can't go wrong. Conversely, nothing I do or achieve -- no matter how spectacular it may seem to others -- is right or worth doing, if God is not with me.
So how does one receive the favor of the Lord like David and Joseph? I think it's a combination of many things, passionately loving God being the single greatest element. But, too often, I find myself loving and lusting after the pleasures of this world, despite knowing that they're all so fleeting and futile. Perhaps this is why I'm constantly asking God to give me more passion, desire, thirst and hunger for His fellowship and His ways. Yet, all too often, I'm terribly guilty of not seeking Him only hours after I tearfully ask Him for these things. I'm reminded, again, of His faithfulness to me despite my unfaithfulness to Him. I've felt this unworthy grace time and time again, and I'm so very grateful. Still, I'm tired of being unfaithful.
I want to be more faithful...
