😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you. The Bible is packed with stories of paths taken, travels embarked upon, and journeys that led them through and to experiences with God Himself. Actually, the Bible is a compilation of God’s people’s journey back to Him.
At some point in your life, you may have heard someone say, “It’s always darkest before the dawn.” The farther we get into and down the road of our journeys, we can run into points of darkness and fatigue, in which we can’t seem to find any light and mentally and physically we are just worn out from the journey. Even though Satan has been picking at us the entire journey, that point, when we are worn down and in our deepest darkness, that is the point when Satan will hit you and I the hardest, thinking that we are at our weakest. Yes, sometimes it is true, that is our weakest point.
Those times are also our greatest turning points. Every time you hit a wall mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, you have to turn in one direction or another. Which way will you choose to turn? Actually, the question is what or whom will you turn to? If you choose a “what”, that will generally lead you back to some addictive tendencies, such as food, drinking, drugs, and other such activities. If you choose a “whom”, I pray that your first choice is God. But we all know that doesn’t always happen. Typically, people don’t straight up choose Satan. But, what we tend to do is choose to turn to people that share and emulate either the qualities of God or Satan.
God knows the plans he has for you. Satan doesn’t. All he cares about is diverting you from God’s plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. There is no future in a life with Satan. It is a “dead” end road.
Christ the Lord is your source of everlasting, eternal life. Make wise choices and have a blessed and eternal life.
Jeremiah 29:11 ‘“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Bless others and be blessed.
