Surviving By Faith

God engineers circumstances to humble us and show us how much we need Him to live a winning life. This is how He loses the idol of self-effort from our pursuit of holiness. It's also his technique of reaching other purposes in our lives. The Lord has more in mind than simply exposing the weakness of our flesh - that is only a must have to something else.
He will put us on show for all eternity as examples of His grace and goodness. He wants the angels to see the body of Christ and stand in shock before this stunning demonstration of His work.
Are we ready to most likely understand the full scope of His designs for our lives? What must be done for us to reach all that He has in mind for us? We do not have answers to these questions. Hence, we've got a lot of difficulty understanding why God allows us to fail.
If we could only see the lovely end product he needs to mind, we'd gladly desert our self-effort and give way to His transforming power. But instead we insist on doing it our way. And so long as we remain in this style of thinking, God will insist on letting us to fail.
There's a less complicated way. It is just living by religion, trusting in the Holy Spirit inside us moment-by-moment and day-by-day to conform us to the likeness of God's Son.
