Have you ever been frustrated with yourself, and the way you continue to live? We all get frustrated with ourselves, and Jeremiah 17:9 speaks to the root of this frustration.

How have you been frustrated with yourself this week?

This frustration points to the truth that we are imperfect. Whether reading the Old Testament or the New, Scripture makes it perfectly clear that God is perfect, and we are not. Romans 3:23 emphasizes this truth by telling us that we all fall short of His perfection.

Have you begun to grow comfortable with the frustration you’re living in, letting yourself just sit in it? Let us not be those who are content with frustration, but rather those who respond and pursue obedience at all costs.

Spend the remaining time in prayer, asking the Lord to convict you of your imperfection and how you have been living it out.
