Many have to undergo an evaluation on their job. Their job will evaluate their overall performance and sometimes the results of the evaluation will cause them to receive a raise, a bonus, or some type of incentive. However, if the evaluation is bad, the person might get demoted or even lose their job. As believers, we must constantly evaluate where we are spiritually. Are we becoming more like Christ? Are we developing more in the fruits of the spirit? Are we becoming more like the world? Are we still on fire for God like we were ten years ago?
Sometimes when we examine ourselves, we must make adjustments because we may not like where we are. We may have to remove friends. We may have to stop watching television or spend less time on our smartphones. We must adjust so that we don’t remain in a state of spiritual decline. We must examine ourselves, and if necessary, ask God to reveal to us areas where we may need to improve. Sometimes, we must remove distractions. We must examine our belief system. Do we believe the way we once did, or has our perspective changed to the point that we are thinking like the world. We must remove anything from our lives that may cause us to miss Heaven. We want our lives to go from faith to faith, from glory to glory. Our desire should be to have a deeper walk with God. As we continue to evaluate ourselves, we can open the door for that to happen and to walk in the benefits of diligently seeking Him. Our desire should be to know Christ and the power of His resurrection.
