We’re all guilty of it. I know I am. We start out on the right path, but somewhere along the line we get off track. Sometimes it happens slowly…sometimes quickly. Sometimes it happens on purpose….usually it happens unintentionally.

But it does happen.

The problem is that we are too confident in our own abilities. We think we have what it takes. In many cases this might actually be true. But not in this case. In this case our abilities fail us miserably. They always have. They always will. You would think we would learn.

But we don’t.

The good news: we’re not alone (everyone has done it).
The bad news: it just doesn’t work that way.

And when it happens we need to fix the situation…well, we need God to fix it because we can’t (that’s the problem)…

How foolish can you be?
After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit,
why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?
Galatians 3:3, NLT
