In life, we all have those little things that add up that can get us down. But when we think about it, why do we let those things beat us? As children of the King, we have the Holy Spirit living inside us and we can say no. No to the bad thoughts, no to the temptation, no to Satan. We have the power to not give in to temptation and take a higher stand.

So sibling in Christ, Don't let it beat ya. Don't let things get you down, discouraged or make you feel like quitting or get you angry. Quote scripture, sing scripture songs and think on the Lord. Just don't let the devil in. Learn to say No.

James. 1:13, 16

King James Version (KJV) - "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:"

{16} "Do not err, my beloved brethren."

Philippians. 4:8

King James Version (KJV) - "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

Philippians. 4:13 

King James Version (KJV)

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

God's Glory through our Suffering and Why

Sometimes God has to break our Pride and our "Tough Stuff

Christian" attitude in able to do what God really wants to do through us - for His Glory! That process of God trying to "Get to us" can be hard and often thought of as a trial or that WE Are suffering when really all along God's heart was suffering because he could not work through us because of our rotten pride. Many times God gets the greatest glory from our greatest sufferings, because it is THEN in those dreary hours that we wave that "White flag of Surrender" realizing that we can not do it by ourselves! Surrendering is a sign of humility that ushers in HIS GRACE. When we are humble to God, and have a "It's Not me, It's God" attitude, we are willing to let God work through us and in our lives where that character trait, Being Humble, through God's Amazing and awesome power, can fully impact others spiritually, helping others come to know HIM and the Glory will go to God. God likes a humble child who fully depends on Him, who is willing to let the Lord work in their life and who trusts in Him at all times.

Proverbs. 3:5 & 6
King James Version (KJV) - "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thy own understanding. {6} In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths. "

What a lesson us Mortals go thru. Crash at God's feet and don't be embarrassed of asking God, Our Creator, For help. We truly CAN'T "do it all on our own."

  Trials are tough but God's Children weren't made to go through them alone! God is there for you. And He is right there beside you walking with you through this journey. God brings trials and tests into our lives for a variety of reasons. One of His purposes is so that we can experience His comfort in a powerful and amazing way. Instead of allowing our difficulties to draw us away from God, they should encourage us to run to Him, like a child running to his parent for love and reassurance. God put you on this earth for a reason and as my Mom has said,  Life itself is not perfect, and neither are you nor I: but, God is perfect! His way is perfect, and YOU are perfectly equipped with just the right talents to fullfill His perfect will for YOUR life.  No one else can do so quite like you can.  No one else can fill His plan for you like you can.  Only you can do what He has for you to do.  It is so important for you to realize that and to fully comprehend just how imperative it is for you to do so. Don't let circumstances determine for you whether or not you will do right and trust in the Almighty. Accept each day just as it comes to you; Do not waste your time and energy wishing for a different set of circumstances. Instead, trust God enough to yield to His design and purposes for you and your life.  You are not alone today. Rest in the comfort and strength of God Almighty!

1, Thessalonians. 2:16 & 17 
King James Version (KJV) - "Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, {17} Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

Romans. 8:5 & 6 
King James Version (KJV) - "For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

{6} For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace."

Choose to Trust God today. Don't try to live a life trusting God, Try to Live One minute trusting God fully; Then do the next minute, and then the next. No need to get over-whelmed. 

1, Peter. 5:7 
King James Version (KJV) - "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."

I hope you'll have a blessed day. Seek to shine for Christ! 

Many Blessings,
