Where Sin Will Take You!

“The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭10:13‬ ‭

Have you ever heard the phrase “Sin will take you further than you want to go?” I sat and thought on it today, I’ve heard it all of my life but have I truly understood it? As I began to think on it, I came to realize it’s deeper than words, it’s our reality of the world today. The world has lost its view on morals and on keeping God in the center of them. What started as something small went to something bigger, they have taken God out of our schools and some of our jobs. We have let them brainwash us on things that we should believe and things we shouldn’t. We shouldn’t let the enemy take us or this world any further. We think us giving in to something small such as not praying in public because it might embarrass us will not lead us astray, but it starts with being embarrassed in public and ends with us not doing it in private. When we give into that little bit of sin it starts small and grows big, like a tiny white lie. When we lie even if it’s small it grows bigger and bigger, although it started small over time when asked about it we will have to lie again and again. It’s best to just be honest and tell the full truth in the first place. Today, don’t let the devil take you down the wrong path, because his intentions are to take you all the way to hell. Jesus came to give you eternal life let God lead you, guide you and uplift you. Say no to sin even when it’s difficult because you’ll always end up in a better place that way. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation. ” Luke‬ ‭11:4‬ ‭ ““Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation.”” Luke‬ ‭22:46‬ ‭ ““What sorrow awaits the world, because it tempts people to sin. Temptations are inevitable, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting.” Matthew‬ ‭18:7‬ ‭ “Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”” Mark‬ ‭14:38‬ ‭

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...
