Bravery In God.

“If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”” Esther‬ ‭4:14‬ 

The story of Esther has always been my favorite, she was so brave to stand up to the king and his right-hand man just for her people. If we all had her fearlessness it would scare the enemy, wouldn't it? See we tend to forget just because we don't feel like we are fearless doesn't mean that we aren't. The reason she accomplished so much isn't that she knew who she was it was because she knew whose she was. If we know that we belong to God that's where the enemy stands no chance. See we forget that our power, strength, and help comes from God alone, and when someone stands up against God they stand no chance. You have to stop letting the enemy control you and become more like Esther, stand up for God's people knowing that God is backing you up. If God is in your corner you have no need to worry, and if you're a child of God He is in your corner.  See there is more than one story in the Bible that tells about someone knowing that their power came from God, not themselves, another one being David. He knew his strength could not win against Goliath, but God's strength could. Whatever the enemy is throwing at you, remember that your strength might not be enough, but God's is. Remember that your bravery is a gift from God. Keep pushing the enemy away and holding on to God's strength because you will never lose a battle when God is holding the shield. The Bible tells us to put on the full armor of God, if you're spiritually battling you have every shield you need in God, and you have no reason to worry. Put on the full armor of God and trust in Him always, He will always see you through. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Then everyone will be afraid; they will proclaim the mighty acts of God and realize all the amazing things he does.” Psalms‬ ‭64:9‬ “For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.” Ephesians‬ ‭6:15 “Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.” Ephesians‬ ‭4:24‬ ‭ “Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.” Ephesians‬ ‭6:11

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...
