Good morning Lovelies. This is the day that God has made let us rejoice in it. Father, here I am today with open hands and an open heart, ready to depend on You to help me through my day, and all it will bring my way. Help me to come to You for guidance, strength, provision, and protection. As I face tough choices and hard situations, help me remember that I am Your child and Your representative to the world around me. Today is a new day, a chance for a new start. Yesterday is gone and with it any regrets, mistakes, or failures I may have experienced. It’ a good day to be glad and give thanks, and I do Lord. Thank You for today, a new opportunity to love, give, and be all that You created me to be. In the Mighty Name of Jesus. Amen!
The devil has no new tricks. He keeps using the same things over and over to test you, try you, and cause you to fall. But, God never lives in the past. How many times have you ever heard God say in His Word, “If you had done this, you would have this?” Never! God only moves forward. He does not even consider your past when He is working on you. As a matter of fact, He doesn’t even care to remember your past.
But, the enemy keeps bringing situations that once caused you to stumble. When it involves your past, or when it’s something that you once struggled with, you can beat it’s the enemy testing your progress. God matures us, and then God allows the enemy to try us to show that we have progressed. Before you can move to the next level, you must first pass the test for the level that you are on now.
So many of us are stuck on the same level for years because we will not let go of people, places, and things, that cause us to fall and fail. But until you master your level, you will not be promoted. You have to desire to be better, and you have to desire to be free to get free. As long as you are holding on to the same stuff, then you will not make any progress, God wants us to desire to please Him and desire a better way of living.
Sometimes we can do the same thing for so long that we lose sight of the real way it should be done. This is why church, fellowship (which is something that I miss so much), and reading the Word is so important because it does not let us stay the same way, but seeing others and hearing other’s testimonies and reading what God said will cause us to grow and not stay the same. Anything that does not grow is dead! Plain and simple, you will be walking as a spiritually dead person if you stop growing. No God, no victory, and no progress. Your life will indeed be the same thing different day. Same Old, Same Old! So strive for excellence in your walk, journey, and get hip to the devil's tactics.
Know it is Him and recognize when you should change things in your life. When that same old temptation comes, start resisting with everything you’ve got! When the same old depression comes block it out and speak the Word of God! When that same old situation tries to raise its head, run for your life into the shadow of the Almighty!!! Do what you have to do but-avoid doing the same old thing!
"Therefore since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us." Hebrews 12:1
Love life, give people hope and share your heart, wisdom, and resources. Never place a period where God says there should be a comma. As always peace and blessings, be safe. Take advantage of your opportunities but never allow your opportunities to take advantage of you. Remember God loves you and so do I. krw©9.9.2020
