Assurance

Assurance 

As I begin to write… I start to feel a sense of relief; as if to exhale releasing my inner thoughts.  I stand at a juncture in my life where I am transitioning from my old carless self, to developing into the man that God has intended for me to be. I am undeniably aware of this because the devil attempts to tear away at me every way possible, diminishing my strength and paralyzing my faith.

 As human I must admit, I question God’s plan and purpose for my life. I get weak at times, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Day by day mischievous demons antagonize my inner ambition, neutralizing my desire to overcome.  Lately I have notice that the devil has been focusing in on my confidence hindering me from my growth and walk with the Lord. Sometimes I feel like an actor in a play; God is the play writer and he has given me my cue to proceed toward center stage, but unfortunately backstage the devil has me locked in the dressing room delaying my break through. “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a raring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same suffering. 1 Peter 5:8-9”

As a Christian I realize that with growth follows growing pains, so I constantly remind myself that I am more than a conqueror through Christ. I firmly believe that if God can bring me to it; he will bring me through it no matter what obstacles I may face, for this battle is not mine... it is the Lords! “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6”

Note to self: Patients is Key! Wait upon the Lord he will direct thy paths. Day by day better yourself mentally, spiritually, and physically. You can do it! You have to believe in yourself and in your abilities. Remember that limits only exit in the mind, reach for the stars! Settle for nothing less than your best! “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13”
