Before viewing please see Part 1 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZa9hgjIjuM Each of us will also face these same perils as we graduate from the thirty something crowd. If we fail to respond properly, we will experience what is commonly known as a midlife crisis. What then, are the perils of midlife that we should avoid? The first is that of growing weary. Weariness hits when you've been out in the trenches for many years. Life becomes routine, and weariness easily convinces us to take it easy for a change. Second, with weariness comes carelessness. No one wakes up in the morning and says, I'll throw away everything I worked for, go bankrupt and instead roam from state to state. Third, with carelessness comes confusion. David failed to follow the spiritual compass of God's Word and the guiding of the Holy Spirit. He lustfully inquired about a beautiful woman named Bathsheba, wife of Uriah, and before the night was over he committed adultery and got more than what he bargained for. Sin is attractive, but it will cost you far more than you wanna pay. In visiting His altar of brokenness, you will find a spiritual depth to your life has been added that was not there before the trial began. Peter writes: "Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation His glory you may rejoice with exultation" (1 Peter 4:12-13).
