LIVING IN THE BRIGHTNESS OF GOD!

” GOD IS LIGHT AND THERE IS NO DARKNESS IN HIM AT ALL. SO, WE ARE LYING IF WE SAY WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD BUT GO ON LIVING IN SPIRITUAL DARKNESS. WE ARE NOT PRACTICING THE TRUTH.” 1 JOHN 1:5&6

As true followers of our Lord and Savior we are to live a life of peace and joy. Our beliefs in all of his promises are to be on display at all times. If we are truly living within his brightness, then our lives will reflect those promises. Our faith must be so strong in him and never wavering. It is very hard when we live in a world of confusion, doubt, worry and negativism to build our faith to that point. However, the Lord has provided to us His precious Holy Spirit to live within us and help us to wipe out all of the distractions around us. I can testify to the fact that if you take your mind off of the Lord for only a moment the devil is right there to steal away your faith and belief. Our focus must stay true. We must listen as the Holy Spirit speaks to us. We must continually read God’s Holy Word and meditate on every word. We must learn the promises of our God and never hesitate to put his promises into action in our lives. What may seem to be a lost battle in our lives is not. What may look like a hopeless situation is not. The Lord has given us every tool in his tool chest to make our lives worth living. We all have a job to do. No matter what it looks like around us or what others are saying we are to focus on our Lord. We are to keep moving ahead and fighting with every tool he has given us. We must smile and keep positive. We must be doers of his word and not hearers only. There is no benefit to hearing his word and then turning around to live our lives with doubt, worry and fear. We must confess his promises, live his promises and believe his promises. PRAISE THE LORD EVEN IF IT SEEMS USELESS! PRAISE HIM, LOVE HIM AND BELIEVE HIM IN ALL THINGS!
