changes.

There are many uncertain things in life that we encounter daily, one of which is primarily the uncertainty of safety or security. So many of us walk in this world weary and leery of someone or something hurting us like a car crash, a bad fall, getting robbed, our car breaking down, a job loss, failing a test, or just causing a horrible fight. What's even more terrible is the fact that many of us in this world are facing these worries without the Lord! It's bad enough going through those things, but to do that without Him would be insurmountable (at least for me.)


I need the Father, 24/7. I cannot live without Him in my life, I cannot breathe in pure Godly peace without Him and I cannot lead my fiancée and our relationship without our Savior. That's what He is, He saves us. He saves us daily. We go though struggles to strengthen our walk, we encounter change because He seeks to have us move with the Spirit of the Lord: "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." (2 Corinthians 3:17 NIV84) I dont know about you, but I want to live in freedom and unfortunately for those who don't believe in Him they cannot live in freedom. Think about this, where on earth can you possibly find true, pure, unadulterated freedom? Here? America? Ha! Yeah right, we USED to live in freedom, but now because we chose to send God away from our country, our country which was literally founded on God is a place of bondage and slavery.

It's not all at a loss by any means. As Christians we truly can walk in victory: for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. (1 John 5:4 NIV84). Literally "in victory". That means that we don't have to be depressed, angry, frustrated, or hurt by any of our current state of affairs as a nation, world or even as an individual. We can choose joy and walk in victory. Choose joy today and do not succumb to this world's temptations to be anxious or worried or scared: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Philippians 4:6 NIV84). That's all we must do when we have hit a wall that seems impossible to overcome. Just stop and pray. Pray without ceasing and He will hear you, He will bring to you what you truly need no matter how much it stings. No matter how broken your heart is, He is near: The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18 NIV84).


I pray that you accept the fact that He who began a good work WILL be faithful to complete it. Just trust in Him with all of your heart and He will bring the changes you need to be stronger in Him than ever before.
