Four Ways to Resist the World's Influence

I , as well as I’m sure others, are truly grateful for honesty and daily accountability of our relationship with the Lord. It’s so easy to fall back into our previous comfortable lifestyle. When Sunday’s role around , am I excited, looking forward to fellowship with our family and friends at church.. or.. am I tired, mopey, and dreading having to go to another service? Am I thinking of excuses not to go? I may not be that extreme in my spirit , but I do have some of those thoughts just trying to creep their way into my actions.. but..once I’m there, I feel grateful that I didn’t give in, and I’m invigorated, charged from the message , and ready for the week ahead! We read scriptural stories like in exodus and how hard it was to give up all the luxuries and rituals left behind in Egypt. It didn’t matter that they were slaves. They were in a comfortable bondage and weren’t able to see the bright future the Lord freed them to look toward . I may not have the same idols , comforts, or worldly pagan rituals, but when it comes down to it..it’s all about distractions that take my focus off the Lord and endulge my flesh. That’s why scripture says to crucify the flesh daily, because until the Lord calls His church home, we have to deal with our sin nature and the worldly gravitational pull that can keep us growing away from the Lord who saved us! I know I’ve got a way to go, but the one I feed the most will be the one that either deepens my relationship with God, or hardens my heart with each temptation I succumb to. Our daily choices do matter and will follow us into eternity!

Yes, Amen and Amen.. As i read this blog, i really so blessed. Because its reminds me that God is there always besides me. Sometimes i feel alone when i discourage about family, love ones, friends.. But when i read this blog i feel ashamed to God, i have so much complain, question to God why my lifes no change what ever i do, what ever i prayed nothing change, my life like a roller coaster.. But i realize that i need to continie to walk with God because in the long run God is always with me. Thank you so much for this, thank for the encouragement for getting mature to God. To God be the glory.

I loved the blogs. They reminded me that Jesus is the true way and that he loves us. I need to continue to trust him and revenant him in all I do.

Indeed in a tired world it is so hard to stay positive and in line with God and His purposes for me and to be diligent and steadfast. At the same time it's so wonderful and loving to know that he cares about me no matter what and he is patient with me as I go through a time in my life when turmoil is more prevalent than it has been in many years. I love that I am reminded that he is with me that he is the one that's going to change and I have to have faith and I know that he will take those things from me that are holding me back and give me his blessings and his love and his Joy and I will be Joyce and be loved and happier than I've ever been before if I just stay steadfast and have faith. Thank you for the encouragement and the love
