It's easy to be loyal to God when you are struggling or going through something. The real challenge is remaining loyal once things start to look better. The Lord is my shepherd, let me not forget. Let me not be allured by the allusion that I "made it" and no longer need Him. Although things are better, the battle is not over. God is my protection, and many times we are in danger and don't even know it.
Wisdom, I need more and my strength is from the Lord. Psalms 1:1-3 loosely paraphrased says, "Happy are those...who find joy in the law of the Lord and they study it day and night. They are like tress that grow beside a stream...they succeed in everything they do." When I was feeling down, low, and weak this scripture gave me strength. How foolish it would be of me to take my new found strength and forget about the source from which it came. I'm a child of God first, and everything else is second.
Be blessed!
