Christmas break has arrived. Now that I am home, I am finally able to write another blog post. I hope to write more while I am at home doing...well not a whole lot.
With the recent events of this world, it is easy to become restless and uncertain about the future. People may wonder where God is in all of this trouble. Something that I want to do is reassure them that God is still near! In church today, Pastor Cal spoke deep about this issue and it hit me hard about putting my reliance on God. When God is present in our lives, there is no better security!
I want that confidence in God! The Bible is our sword!!! When the devil tries to mess with you, pull out your sword!! There is no other way to defeat the devil without God!
Something I need to stop is coming up with the worst possible scenarios for every situation in my life. God does not want me to be scared of possible outcomes; He wants me to put my full faith in Him!! Matthew 6:33 says: "But seek FIRST his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." I should first be seeking God, and not worrying about my doubts.
Now with Christmas in a little over a week, there may be many people in this country who are sad, confused, and scared. This is a great opportunity to pray for our country. God IS here, and we should turn to Him like never before. In Isaiah 40:29-31 it says: "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
This song has been in my head all day, and I felt like sharing it. Through it all, He is our hope!
