October is Here...
I woke up this morning with a fervent sense of purpose--to finally see my life as not my very own life. When you live for Christ you crucify your fleshly desires; you abandon the things that are worldly and even cut your ties to people that are unequally yoked with your faith. And that you're never alone. You have the Lord fighting for your battles behind the scenes. You may not see it coming to pass at the rate or speed you want it done but God is before you and "who can be against you."
The best nugget of wisdom that really permeated my soul today is one quote I read in my mailbox (which I periodically get) which says, "some of the most powerful moments in life happen when you find the courage to let go of what can't be changed. Because when you are no longer able to change a situation, you are challenged to change yourself--to grow beyond the unchangeable. And that changes everything."
You seek God in your solitude, in your prayer, even when your tears are the only thing left as the expression of your desperation and hopelessness. "God is our refuge and strength, our ever-present help in trouble." I hope and pray including myself that we dig and truly understand the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary Cross. He bore all of our iniquities, sicknesses, illnesses, infirmities, and viruses be it physical or spiritual. The only thing we need to do is believe, have faith, and " be not transformed to this world: But be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
"And we walk by faith and not by sight..."
