A Gospel Approach to Mental Health

Getting Back on God's Path: 1 Chronicles 15

Sometimes in life we choose to go our own way. We make our own choices and we get off God's path for our life. In 1 Chronicles 13, King David chose to go his own way when carrying the ark of the covenent back to his capitol. This led to the death of Uzzah. In 1 Chronicles 15, David is given another opportunity to get back on God's path. He does things the way God wants Him to and the ark is brought back safely. In your life, you may have strayed from God's path. Luckily, we serve a God who is willing to give us opportunities to get back on His path. If you are healing from a mental health challenge, then use this time as a reset for your life. Use that reset to play the role God has given you in life. This means using your talents to glorify Him and help others. Remember, as you heal others may want you to stay on the path you used to be on. Reevaluate these relationships and see if they match up with God's path for your life.
