This last weekend, we had an opportunity to share a very special occasion with some friends; we were invited to a party to share their 50th wedding anniversary. My wife and I just celebrated our 25th a couple of weeks ago. We made it together 25 years by living life day by day. These good people made it together 50 years by living day by day. And I believe that we follow God by living for God day by day.
There are no secrets to living together for many years. You just love that person each day, and pretty soon you’ve reached a milestone, whether that milestone is 25 years, or even 50 years. It is the accumulation of many days. When you stop, even for just a day, you begin to loose ground. I tell young couples as I counsel them before they are married that there is no status quo in our relationships. We don’t get married, and stay the same forever. We have to work at our relationship every day, because if we aren’t growing, we declining. We don’t stay the same, we’re ever-changing, and our relationships are ever-changing also.
Remember that as you live your lives. Since you are always changing as a person, every relationship you are in needs to be ever-changing also. You will need to work at each to keep it fresh, to keep it growing. Even our relationship with God. God doesn’t change, but since we do, we must work at even our faith.

Do different things in your devotions to keep things fresh. God doesn’t want stale praise, he wants fresh and growing and committed praise. So don’t be afraid to try new things. You will grow, your faith will grow, and will grow in you.
