If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31
Nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:39
Trust God For He Is In Control
The timing of God’s plans and promises are only known to Him. For if He revealed them to us then He would also be revealing them to His enemy. It is our job to commit our ways to God and then trust Him for the outcome. This is very difficult in our youth when we don’t understand the Word of God and when we think that we are the ones in control. We all struggle to hold on to what we can see but we must remember the proper way to believe.
God is always in control and He is able to bring His people back to Him no matter how far they may fall. Patience is difficult to master because of how easy it is in our human nature to act in our emotions. This is where we need to recall the Word of God in our hearts to understand how to be led in the spirit of God instead of acting in our emotions and being misled by the people.
One of the hardest things in life is learning how to let go of ourselves and learning how to trust God instead of trying to bring things together on our own. True love is never directed and it lands as a free bird on the branch of a tree. The object in this life is to do our part with what we have been given and allow God to put things back together in His timing and not in our own. When we learn to love for what is on the inside then it doesn’t matter what we have on the outside. I challenge you today to just trust God for the outcome and learn to share the love of Christ in everyday that is given…amen

Satan Likes To Feed Our Egos
Pride is one of the most difficult things to ever overcome. Satan likes to feed our egos with our accomplishments because he knows how vulnerable we become when we are placed in front of the people. Throughout the Word of God we are shown this negative character trait when men allowed themselves to take the credit for their achievements and when this took place it was only a matter of time before God moved them from their position. No one likes to admit that they were wrong but what is the big deal in this? It takes more courage to admit a mistake than to hold on to the error.
I’ll never forget before my fall how my pride caused me to make bad decisions because I did not want to let others down and for how I was trying to prove something that was not my place to prove. It is more important to show that we are more interested in doing right than we are in looking good. When we allow our pride to interfere with what we know in our hearts to be true then we are not only hurting ourselves but we are hurting others as well. It is in our nature to put things off and think that we can fix the problem on our own but until we honestly address the real issue under God then we are only being robbed of the life that we can have.
It is amazing at what we gain when we finally figure out how to let it go and when we realize that we are not the ones in control. I challenge you to not allow your pride to rob you or someone else of what can be gained and learn from your past to help improve your future…amen
