“Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give into temptation. For the Spirit is willing, but the body is weak!” Matthew 26:41
“Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent.” Hebrews 6: 11-12
To follow the ways of Jesus in our world today takes strength, wisdom and a solid foundation of faith. As we go out each day and interject with those of the world, we must be sure that we separate ourselves as different. As Christians we are different in the ways we think, the ways we talk and the ways we believe things will happen and take place within our own lives. Since we are surrounded by the ways of the world every day, we must stay strong in prayer and in study and meditation of God’s Word. We must insulate ourselves so that we can function with complete and total trust in our Lord God. It can become so easy to begin to slowly slide into the ways of those around us. It can happen subtly and without notice on our part. We may begin to think, little by little, that the ways of life in today’s world is ok. Our own thoughts begin to adjust to the worldly ways and allows the world to sneak in a little at a time. For these reasons it is necessary that we fill up our tank each morning with truths of God. It is vital that we pray earnestly and believe without doubt the promises he provides to us. It is so important that we know what God is saying to us. We must study his word, every chance we have, in order to fight off the urges to living in this world. We must listen carefully to Holy Spirit as he guides us through trials and temptations. The devil and his army are very good at what they do. The subtleness of their ways are dangerous and life threatening. The only way we keep from succumbing to evil is to let God’s light shine and show us the way every day! We are not to be fooled! Instead, we are to grow in God’s word and become stronger and stronger in his principals and ways of life. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
