“For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.” 1 John 5:4-5
” Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The Spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” Mark 14:38
” You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, not the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, not the plague that destroys at midday.” Psalm 91:5-6
We battle every day the things of the devil. We are attacked by disease and sickness, accidents with pain, sorrow, sadness and constant torment of what may happen in this world. We are tormented with persecution of our beliefs and with worry, doubt and fear. There is much talk in today’s world about our southern border and the wall that was built but discontinued. Our faith is much like that wall at our southern border here in the United States. As we are flooded with the things of evil every day our God has given us a great wall that will keep us safe. The problem is that we sometimes put on hold the wall he is building for us. We step aside, thinking that we can take care of our own problems. We forget to take our problems to God in prayer. We forget to rely on our faith in Jesus and the many promises our Lord has provided for us. When we step aside, we allow evil to enter our lives. This evil must be dealt with. But without thought or prayer we struggle through these battles by ourselves. The result is pain and suffering. The Lord never promised us that we would be free of pain and suffering, but he has given us the ability to get through these things with power and not weakness. Our faith is our wall. It must continue to be built and must never be put on hold. With faith we are able to overcome all things. With faith we are able to stand within the fires and come out without a burn. We are able to be thrown in with the hungry lions and not be harmed. It is our wall of faith that must continue to get stronger and stronger. As it continues to grow our resistance to the evil of this world becomes stronger and we become overcomers. Keep the wall of faith growing and the worries and fears are lessened and will eventually flee. Jesus is Lord! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
