LISTEN AND BE JOYFUL

“THOSE WHO LISTEN TO INSTRUCTION WILL PROSPER; THOSE WHO TRUST IN THE LORD WILL BE JOYFUL.” PROVERBS 16:20

Our Lord God in heaven has sent his precious Holy Spirit to live within us. The Holy Spirit is the strength and power of God. When Jesus went to set at the right hand of God, the Holy Spirit was sent to continue the efforts of our Lord here on earth. With the strength of the Holy Spirit, we are able to follow his ways and do the things that the Lord wants each of us to accomplish. We are here to be strong in the ways of Christ Jesus, to stand strong in the face of tremendous pressures, persecutions, trials, temptations, sicknesses, and disease. We are to be overcomers of the evil set against us and not succumb to the pressures. We must pay attention and listen. We must know God’s word, his promises and his ways. We should be strong in the Holy Spirit and become strong in the face of any evil set before us. We must, however, be focused on the end result and not the problems around us. The Spirit will not lead us down a road of disaster but his leading always stands with the Holy Word of God. We must listen to his instructions and become doers of his word. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
