Well I don't know about you, but I have so many things in my life that I get frusterated at myself for doing over and over again. God has revealed them to me, but I truly have to depend on him daily to deliver me from these strongholds that I have. I have many times asked myself why if I am a Christian do I have to deal with it daily? I am reading Beth Moores book "Breaking Free" and her devotional book and I thought she explained it so well.
"Lord, our God, other lords than You have ruled over us, but we remember Your name Alone." Isaiah 26:13
Few things beyond our salvation are "once and for all." If God were to deliver us instantaneously from a stronghold or addiction, we would see His greatness once, but we would likely soon forget... and we'd risk going back.
On the other hand, if God teaches us victory in Jesus Christ day by Day, then learn to live in the constant awareness of His greatness and His sufficiency. Hard lessons are often long-lasting lessons.
Never forget the fact that God is far more interested in our getting to know the Deliverer than in simply being delivered.
Hope that helps any of you that get frusterated at yourself and just know that it was all apart of Gods perfect plan for us to depend on him!
