Be Careful!

““Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,” the woman replied.” Genesis‬ ‭3:2‬ ‭

We tend to be so quick to say that others don't have an impact on our decisions in life, that we don't let others help us make choices. The first person ever created was Adam, then his wife Eve. Eve was deceived by the serpent which was the devil in a form of a snake who told her to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. God gave them one command and that was to not eat from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. The enemy deceived Eve which led her to deceive Adam to eat it also. When someone makes a bad choice that is close to us oftentimes they deceive us into doing it also. They will make us fall into sin like they are. It is so important to be close to those who are on the right path in life and have the same values and beliefs as you so that you will not slip into sin. Today, make sure you're being cautious as to whom you are around and are getting close to you, they might unknowingly or intentionally deceive you into sin. You have to be careful of who you spend time with and who you choose to surround yourself with. The saying "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" is never a good thing in the spiritual life, you can only keep people close that are on the right path like you are so that you will not fall into sin. Be sure that you are picky with how you spend your time because you never know when people will tempt or pressure you into bad decisions. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “And to the man he said, “Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it.” Genesis‬ ‭3:17‬ ‭ “If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one hand than to go into the unquenchable fires of hell with two hands.” Mark‬ ‭9:43‬ ‭ “Think carefully about what is right, and stop sinning. For to your shame I say that some of you don’t know God at all.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:34‬ ‭ “He chooses evil people as companions. He spends his time with wicked men.” Job‬ ‭34:8‬ ‭

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...
