FOLLOWING JESUS IS A CONSTANT STRUGGLE!

” BE ON GUARD. STAND FIRM IN THE FAITH. BE COURAGEOUS. BE STRONG. AND DO EVERYTHING WITH LOVE.” 1 CORINTHIANS 16: 13-14

Following our Lord is a constant struggle. Some think that when they accept Christ as their Lord and Savior everything will come up roses from that point on. Oh, how mistaken they are. When you become a true follower of Jesus the devil fights you even harder than before. In fact, in my experience, the harder he fights me the more I know that something good is about to happen. The Lord has given us instructions as we walk through each day. We are to be on guard. Never let down. Always be prepared for action. We are to stand firm in our faith. We should never waver. We should know the promises of God and stand upon them. Our faith should be constantly growing stronger, and it can only grow stronger when we allow it to. We must study and meditate upon his Holy Word and put his promises into action. We must stay strong and do everything with love. We must put our anger behind us. We must love others and deliver the message of Jesus in love and not in fear or doubt. Our Jesus loves us and gives us every opportunity to live our lives in him and with him. Always be prepared! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
