My prayer for you for today is that you will break the
hold of sin and live pure, in Jesus name.

John 3:4
Everyone
who sins is breaking God's law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God.
The story of a fish (Part 2)
With new found celebrity status the little fish was as
popular as fish and chips. Everywhere he went everyone wanted to talk to him
and hear his remarkable story once more. It wasn’t long before the little fish
started to think that all this popularity must surely mean that he is the one
who defeated the shark and that he is truly an awesome fish, in fact he makes
fish look good.
He started to choose who he wanted to hang out with and
his new self-centred personality was just perfect for the in-crowd, but it left a
bad taste with those who used to be his friends. Suddenly the little fish was
doing things that he would have never done before. He became a rebel, fighting
with everyone and always doing only what he wanted. It wasn’t long before he
had forgotten how God saved him from the jaws of a hungry shark.
It was in one of his rebelling bad moods that he argued
with his father and slammed the door as he swam out towards the deep ocean. In his
angered state he didn’t realise that he had left the safety of the reef and was
swimming into the deep dark ocean. He suddenly stopped as he realised he had
gone too far. He started to swim back slowly, suddenly he saw a dark shadow
slowly moving towards him. Fear numbed him and he felt nauseous as he watched
the shadow getting closer. He closed his little fish eyes and started to pray
asking God for forgiveness and desperately seeking help.
Suddenly something grabbed him and pulled him down
towards the bottom. He tried to shake himself free still shaking with fear as an
old familiar voice told him to be quiet. It was his dad who found him and was
now pulling him down and away from danger…
How quickly do we forget God when things are fine and how
quickly do we remember Him when trouble arrives. Don’t be a hard times
Christian and a good times sinner. God does not like a mild Christian, in fact
God despises a mild believer. God needs passion and confidence combined with
commitment and determination.
Live a life away from sin and not a life filled with sin.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
