“For surely, O Lord you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.” Psalm 6:12
“But you dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.” Jude 20
As we travel through our journeys here on earth we go through ups and downs. We go through times that we wonder if we will ever be able to gather our senses and claim victory. We also go through times where we are on the top of the world. Everything looks good and we see nothing but success on the horizon. We look at ourselves with victory in our eyes and an attitude that nothing can knock us from our pedestal. In either case we are lost. We are defeated and we have no future. We were all born sinners and until we come to the feet of Jesus and ask him to live within us, we continue to act as sinners. However, when Jesus comes into our lives, we change. Our attitude toward life is different. We look at the world around us and see it for what it really is. We begin to look through lenses that are clearer and that give us a better understanding. Jude 20 is very clear when we are told to “build ourselves up in our most holy faith.” We are to do just that. We are to continue to surround ourselves with the things of our God in heaven. We are to learn and recite bible verses. We are to read and meditate in his mighty word. We are to pray in the Holy Spirit and become stronger in our thoughts and beliefs. We are to keep our focus on our Lord and constantly give him praise and glory for all of the things he does for us each day. As we stay surrounded in the loving arms of Jesus, we become winners and not sinners. Yes, we all sin, but with Jesus we become winners. We all sin and need forgiveness, and with our Lord we are given that precious promise. We must recognize our wrong, repent and ask Him for forgiveness. He never fails us! He wipes our sins away and never revisits them. We should do the same. As winners we should move forward with the strength of our Lord and with his attitude always dominating our life. From sinners to winners, we have found the way and should never stray. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
