'I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.'
As you start this week make the decision to let go of any worries, baggage, anger or guilt thats holding you back from moving forward. Your past is gone, pray about it, get help if needed, forgive and let it go. 1 John 1:9-10 (ESV) says,
'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The devil uses this as a window to keep you stagnant, isolated, angry, bitter. Have faith and believe that you are NOT tainted but a child of God. We all have stories some are tragic and others not as bad but it's up to you to be a victim to your circumstance or to learn from it, move forward and perhaps educate or enlighten others.
Your Present is NOW, empower yourself for this moment. Think about ways to enhance yourself. Do you see any growth in your life? Have you set any goals? What are you doing to achieve these goals? Are you allowing your past to mess with your self esteem or are you thinking about all the impossibilities rather than seeking opportunity? There is a saying that 'If opportunity doesn't knock build a door.' Remember Faith without works is dead. Have you set any spiritual goals and are you working on it? If there is too much drama in your Church go someplace else. Get rid of the emotional attachment, Christ should be your focus. Personally church to me is like a hospital, some hospitals are popular for specializing in certain ailments. Do a self check and find a church that suits your needs, remember your growth in Christ is the focus, decisions should not be based on socializing.
Prepare and look to God for your future. We tend to concentrate on preparing for the future based on earthly possessions, ever included preparing spiritually for the future? Matthew 24:44 (ESV) says, 'Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.' Its unfortunate that as Christians Christ's second coming is slowly becoming less important with a focus on the 'Now' with 'Prosperity' teachings. Please prepare yourselves and make this a priority.
If you are emotionally stressed about the future, just plead the blood of Jesus upon your life and look up to God. Meditate on todays daily dose, read Psalms 121 and believe that God's got your back.♥
