SURROUND YOURSELF WITH HIS HOLINESS AND BUILD TRUST IN GOD!

“Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning away from the living God.” Hebrews 3:12

The evil in the world today is all around us. It subtly works its ways into the hearts of those it surrounds. Its mannerisms are so delicate that it is sometimes difficult to detect, as it seeps its way in through the cracks, we leave open to it. It is very much like moisture seeping into the cracks of a broken basement wall. When we finally notice its existence, it is often too late and already taken root in our lives. What and who we surround ourselves with will dictate our existence. We will begin to take on their characteristics and formations. When we receive Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior something special happens, he transforms us. Our attitude changes and we desire to hear and learn more about his saving grace. It isn’t easy, because the world will continue to dictate how life exists in today’s world. However, we must work at our faith. We must work so hard that our faith grows roots down deep into his soil of his love and dedication. We may live in this world, but we are not to become a part of its unruly ways. Our sole focus should always be on Jesus. We must train ourselves to always go to him, focus on him and never let his thoughts wander from our minds. Daily prayer, readings and meditation is necessary. We must surround ourselves with his holiness and work to trust him for everything in our lives. Our newly found focus should be more upon our God in heaven and less on the world around us. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
