Its coming to the end of another quarter, and about this time, my stress levels go waaaay up! So much so that I struggle with keeping my joy (mainly due to over-studying). I spend all of my time doing that and never stop to do something fun and relaxing! All of this leads up to me getting weak physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It becomes easy for me to let satan tell me lies...and I actually believe him! Fear sets in of failure for school, and life in general.
2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love, and of a sound mind." If we trust in Him, ask of Him what we need...He promises to give it to us. It's time we take back what is rightfully ours, and know that God is behind us all the way. He gives one little nod and satan has to give back what belongs to us!
Think about it today. What has satan stolen from you? Your joy? Your peace? Your faith and belief in God? Don't let Him. We cannot underestimate our almighty God. He created us! And He is with us every moment of every day...whether we feel Him or not. And believe me I know what it's like not to be able to feel Him with you. It's frustrating...but we have to try to remember He is there. Another one of His great promises :)
Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee: He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
I hope, dear friends, that this little blog post has brought you some encouragement. I know todays service was so sweet to me and I had to share. If you would like to watch the service online you can go to literallife.org and find it in the archives and it should be up hopefully in a few days :)
Stay strong in Christ, my friends, and don't let satan steal your joy. It is rightfully ours and we must fight to keep it. Stay encouraged and always look to the light of God for life. God bless and goodnight!
