CHOOSING SIDES

“THE LORD IS FOR ME. SO I WILL HAVE NO FEAR. WHAT CAN MERE PEOPLE DO TO ME? PSALM 118:6

I understand that I have the opportunity to freely make decisions in my life. I have the choice to do anything I want to. God has given me a free will. However, one day he knocked at my door, and I invited him in. I accepted him as my Lord and Savior. My life has been changed since that time. I no longer have a desire to do things that are in opposition to my Lord. I recognize when I do something that is not in his will, because the Holy Spirit lives within me and convicts my heart. Whether we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior or not, our God in heaven is cheering for us. He loves us all and wants us all to choose right from wrong. He wants us all to be his children. He wants, however, for us to desire to come to him. He will not force us into his kingdom. When we accept Jesus, our lives don’t instantly become easier to live. But, with the love, trust and confidence in all of his promises we should have no fear. He is God. If he is for us who can be against us? When our Lord is by our side it is impossible to be fearful. It is when we start to drift from our Lord and believe the world that fear begins to creep back in. I pray that all on earth accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I pray that everyone trust in his Word and all of his promises. When we do, fear runs away! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
