(6) Living In God's Presence and Power

What If?

Your sales job occasionally involves traveling through a sales area with one of your retail distributors. Over the last few months you have formed a good friendship as you visit various stores with one of your associates named Mike. Your conversations have revealed that Mike is a believer who has been blessed to attend a good church where many of the basics of our relationship with Christ have been clearly explained. He is confident that he is a follower of Christ and that he will spend eternity with Him. But he is also struggling to live in a way that reflects that relationship. After mentioning that he often feels like a spiritual failure, he says, “You seem to enjoy your walk with Christ. To be honest, I don’t seem to have the ability to make it work. I pretend that things are fine when I’m in church, but I’m running on fumes spiritually. What am I missing?”

How would you respond to Mike’s question?
