The journey of faith can be challenging. Temptations, distractions, and the cares of this world often pull us away from God. Yet, we are not without hope! The Bible gives us clear instructions on how to prevent backsliding and stay close to our Creator.
Let God Speak to You Every Day
We must prioritize spending time in God’s Word daily. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105, NASB). It is through Scripture that we gain wisdom, strength, and direction for our lives. Take time each day to listen to what God has to say to you, and you will walk in light, not in darkness.
Speak to God Every Day
Prayer is our lifeline to God. “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17, NASB) is the call for every believer. Prayer draws us closer to God and helps us resist temptation. When we stop praying, sin creeps in. But when we continually speak to God, He strengthens us and keeps us steadfast.
Say Something for God Every Day
There are countless opportunities to share God’s truth with others. “Brethren, if anyone among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins” (James 5:19-20, NASB). Even a simple word of encouragement or an example of God’s goodness can make a difference in someone’s life.
Do Something for God Every Day
Every day presents opportunities to do good and let Christ shine through us. “So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith” (Galatians 6:10, NASB). Whether through acts of service, kindness, or generosity, we should be looking for ways to glorify God in all we do.
Conclusion: Not One Thing Done for God is in Vain
Remember, the things we do for the world may pass away, but “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58, NASB). No effort for God is wasted. Let’s keep our hearts anchored in Him.
Are you letting God speak to you, and are you speaking to Him and others daily?
