A reminder for
today
I have fought a
good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. (2 Timothy
4:7)
Many people arrive at the moment in their lives (maybe more
than once) where they just want to throw in the towel and give up. The enemy is
a master at identifying your weaknesses and then he will focus on those until
you break. It is his mission to burden you to a point where you have no more to
give and to push you away from God so that you stand alone and then you are
vulnerable.
I guess we all have that moment in our challenges when we
just want to let go. This week I am over loaded with work. I am tired. I have
failed the Lord and I have reached a point where I am so tired that I do not
know how I will get to the next hour let alone the next day.
I love this verse. I have fought the good fight and I have
finished my course. I have kept the faith. This is all that we need to do. We must
keep the faith and finish the course. We must keep fighting the good fight and
live out the gospel. The Lord came in this morning and just filled me with His Holy
Spirit. He renewed my faith and reminded me that I must continue to trust Him. It
is in these storms that we will see His glory, because we do not give up and because
we keep fighting.
I do not know how things are at your side, but I know what
the news tells me and I see what is happening in Texas and the rest of the world as we all face troubles. We must
stand firm in our faith and fight the enemy on our knees. We must not give up,
instead we must pray more.
I will be courageous and strong and I will face my storms
with no fear, because I worship an all-powerful and amazing loving God. He will
never forsake me and He will never let me stand alone. I will break the enemy
and I will show God to all in all that I am and in all that I do. He is my greatest
moments.
Lord, we bring the world and the challenges people are
facing to you. We pray for the people of Texas during this terrible time and we
ask that your name will be glorified and that you will strengthen those whom
are working to save other. We ask that you will be with all who are reading this
blog today and that you will be with them in the challenges and that you will
show your glory and take away our burdens. I pray for strength and hope and I ask
that you will keep us safe. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
