Rejoice In Those Bright Spots

I am reading in Numbers and came upon this bright spot in the life of the Israelites. "Thus the sons of Israel did these things; according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so they did." Numbers 1:54
Our life in Christ is not dependent on performance, yet we are called to "strive for the mastery". Every once in a while we do exactly as we are supposed to do and our obedience is stellar.  When those moments come, and if your like me,  not often enough....rejoice in the "bright spot". If not...do as I have to all too often do, admit my wrong doing and ask my merciful heavenly Father for forgiveness.            (I John 1:9).
