Jesus Never Fails

When something really horrible happens to you, do you fall back into the world or fall closer to God?

Satan is real. He wants to pull you down and drag you into his dark shadow any way he can until you're surrounded by his utter darkness. We all have things that get to us and satan knows what they are. He knows how to push your buttons and make you start slippin' and sliddin' your way towards the dark side. He is always looking for that opportunity when your defenses are down.

Satan is always fighting to hold ground. How do you combat this? What do you do when you feel the light that surrounds you is starting to get dim? Pray and read your Bible. Keep pushing towards the light...HIS light. JESUS never fails us. We just have to be willing to do our part. Don't settle for a spark....light a fire instead! Just a reminder: If our hope is in Jesus Christ we will get to see Satan thrown in that fire one day soon....YIPPIE!!!!!

We need to read the Bible and take heed to what the Lord is telling us through His Word. Live the way we should. Follow the example that Jesus set down for us. Be faithful in reading the Word...your Bible. Pray and meditate...sit and think about what it says...daily. Let it seep into your heart...soul...mind...so that when troubles come you can stand firm in your faith. It is a real battle so it is always wise for us to make sure we are wearing our armor that God gave us. The helmet of salvation, the breast plate of righteousness, the shoes of the Gospel and carry the Sword of Truth. Having the Word planted deeply within our hearts and minds helps us to stand strong and courageous in the toughest of times! Even when those things may scare us or discourage us we can remember that we have a Savior who is with us...always!

Sometimes this world brings trouble I find so hard to bear.
I know I could not make it without Jesus being there.
It’s so encouraging to know,
How ever deep we’re in despair…
Jesus never fails.

When you are close to God, regularly praying, studying the Scriptures, and seeking His counsel, you are primed and attuned to the guidance He is offering for your life. As you are paying attention to Him, you notice that He is paying attention to you. You then begin to experience a calming of your anxieties and an understanding that you don't have to solve your problems alone. You are not in this life alone!

Stop thinking wishfully and start living hopefully. - Emilie Barnes....Hope sets people free!
