ALWAYS STAY CHARGED!

” Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me. All day long I put my hope in you.” Psalm 25:4-5

When we plug ourselves into the right source, we will stay strong in what we believe and live our lives with a focus on the right things. When bad things happen to us, we have a tendency to want to think about the bad things and not the good. When we do this, we become selfish in our ways and find that we are not plugged into the correct source. It is important that we stay strong in our faith in Jesus. We must stay plugged into his scriptures and pray to him every day. I learned long ago that prayer is basic communication with God. I learned that the instant I have a problem, I stop what I am doing and ask for his help. It may be just one word, or it may be a longer conversation, but I don’t attempt to solve the problem on my own. Prayer does not have to be formal, showy, or long and drawn out. It is a conversation that you and I have with our Lord. We are to be truthful, honest and not ashamed to go before him with our concerns. This is a tough world. We are surrounded by evil at all levels. There is no way that you and I can overcome the evil by ourselves. The Lord knows each one of us intimately. He knows before they happen, all of the problems, we do and will have, and what our struggles are. It is so important that He become our focus and our source for all things. We cannot survive in this world if we don’t stay charged up each and every day. We cannot live our lives with our batteries only half charged. The problems we face are too strong and will drain us to a point of depression in our lives and succession from those around us. They will get us so low that we will become defeated and make it hard to reestablish our strength in Jesus. Just as we charge our phones on a regular basis, so should we charge our faith each day. We cannot live life in Christ without a strong faith. It is vital that we know the Word of God, that we know how to talk to him on a regular basis and we know how to make him consistent in our lives. Life will be victorious if we just keep the faith and rebuke the evil! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
