How do you live through Christ daily?
“Brothers, i do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing i do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Jesus Christ.” ~Philippians 3:13-14
In reality, life is anything and everything BUT easy. We face hard times, difficult decisions, tests of out faith, etc. Sometimes I, personally, just want to give up or give in. When times of trouble enter your life- you must first examine where the trouble stems from. God, and Satan too, work in mysterious ways. Let us first examine how Satan can enter and flourish in your life. He brings you up, gives you what it is you have been looking for, and makes you feel whole and powerful. Then, he brings you down into the darkness and pain that we so commonly feel in today’s society. Then, there is our mighty and powerful God, He places you in situations where character, strength, morality, and most importantly faith, are tested. He lets you experience the hardships in life, lets you experience the lowest points, only to raise you up in glory and happiness. In our world today, it is easy to go to God in prayer asking for something, it’s totally normal!Asking God for help and guidance…which is completely understandable, but to give every day to God- well that’s an amazingly powerful thing. But, don’t just pray to God; talk to Him! have conversations of thanks and praise to God!
