Battle

I felt i am in a battle.
A decision to make...... living God's way/ Living according to the world's standard.
I must admit i failed at times & i felt bad....... then i decided to change, but sometimes, i fell repeatedly.

The past has thought me to becareful on decision we make at the very moment.
If He has set the rules, there must be a good reason why He did that.
Think of the long term effect.
Think of God's standard.
Refocus on His Love.
Fear Him.

I read this in daily bread this morning.
Spiritual battles must be fought with the very weapons hardest to wield at the time: prayer, meditation, self-examination, and repentance.
Perhaps you sense you’re in a spiritual rut. Stay at your assigned task! Obedience to God—and only obedience—offers the way out of our futility.


If you sense your faith is unraveling, go back to where you dropped the thread of obedience.

I have had this battle along the way too. However, HE showed me His power in the incidents I have had..

I realised something... the plan from HIM to us is always the best one.. perhaps we are impatient to wait for HIS plan sometimes especially when we are in not a very 'favourable' situation but dear, patient and obedience are what we need during this particular moment. Focus on the presence and love HIM more. :)

Just my 2-cents! :P

Will keep you in prayer.
muaks!

God has indeed prepared you for another level already!Sista!
To subject yourself to the standard of the world, or His - when you are aware of this, it means, you are serious about His words and you fear Him.
Follow His standard sometimes requires you to give up the good things of the world. But well, He also promised in Matthew 6:32-33 "32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Jia You!
