Don't Let The Enemy Push You.

"Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God." 2 Corinthians 4:4

The reason the enemy hates us so much is that we get millions of second chances, we fail God every day yet we still can be forgiven, and still find His grace. Satan failed one time and was cast into hell for all of eternity. See the enemy tries to tie us down and create doubt in and around us because then that creates distance from God, he does this because he doesn't want us to remember that we aren't like him, we can find God's grace every day. Satan messed up when he started singing not for God's glory but his own that is why the enemy tries so hard to make us think that we have to worry more about our outward appearance, how popular we are, what others think or even see us like, and even the amount of followers, likes and how much clout we have on social media because if he can make us change our focus to our own glory then we won't be focused on God's glory anymore. When Jesus came down and died on the cross for us while we were still sinners, He knew that we would mess up every day and sometimes multiple times a day, but He has given us that chance of everlasting life with Him if we choose to serve only Him and let the glory be for Him. When something amazing happens in your life what is the first thing you say? The first thing we should say is, "It was all God!" The glory has to be about God because once we start letting it be about what we accomplish and what we created we're getting away from God. I'm not saying it's bad to be proud of yourself but remember who gave you the strength and power to get where you are. Don't let the enemy get you to where he is in an eternity of literal hell. We have to choose, if only we will choose to ignore the enemy. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "And if Satan is casting out Satan, he is divided and fighting against himself. His own kingdom will not survive." Matthew 12:26 "so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are similar with his evil schemes." 2 Corinthians 2:11 "The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message, only to have Satan come at once and take it away." Mark 4:15 "But God showed us his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." Romans 5:8

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
