I am by nature an enthusiast. Problem is that I willingly and sincerely commit without pausing to calculate if I have the capacity to follow through on that commitment. So many speak of their enthusiasm for God, yet know the disappointment that accompanies moments of slippage. Those times when something interrupts our intended devotion. At its worst it leads us to sin; in every case it distracts our pursuit of God’s person and presence. It appears as though life is little more than a see-saw as we undulate between conviction and confession.
