I’ll be honest with you. I have greatly disliked January. January is wet and cold. January hasn’t liked me either. In the past, bad things have happened. Satan has attacked and been given the temporary victory over me. Stupid Satan. I loathe him. But it was only temporary and I’m stronger than ever thanks be to God who gives me the victory! (I wanted to post a picture of a girl fighting right here but when I google searched…all I could find were half dressed animation characters. Didn’t think it really proved my point)
This January is different. You see…I have given my heart and my mind completely to the Lord of all. I study His Word, and I glean knowledge from it. It is like water to my soul. I understand so much more how to stand against the evil one. I can do nothing without Christ. Read the following scripture and get excited!
“Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints...." Ephesians 6:10-18”
Shout the victory yell! He has conquered ALL! Praise God!
I’m alone in a town that bleeds maroon, and I’m trying to rectify my past mistakes with school. I had faith that the Lord would provide. He has! I had faith He would lead me in finding an apartment and roommate that were perfect. He did! I had faith that He would restore relationships. He is! I have faith that my friends will know Him as their Savior, and worship Him. I cannot see what is happening in the natural but I know that amazing things are happening in the supernatural! I think that is why prayer is such an important part of my spiritual walk.
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18, ”Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances”
I do. I’m a regular Tigger now. No more Eeyore for this young lady.
On an end note……
Happy Birthday to one of the best girlfriends a gal can have – Jessica Joy! I love her and her optimism. She is a feisty, lovable and precious woman. God has really blessed me with a friend such as her.
