Bring it On!!!!

Do you ever have days when you just can't take another trial? Our family has had a plethora of trials over the past 3 years and I'm here to tell you that you CAN make it through!
Today is the day after I was once again brought to a temptation of being provoked. LOL
You know, that's when the people around you push all the right buttons. ;-)
Well, instead of letting the buttons be pushed, I decided to just pull the plug and move on! My buttons no longer work. Out of Order.
I have way too much joy to be bothered with the little irritants and the things that do not point to Jesus. Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith. When we truly fix our eyes on the eternal, the things of this world are meaningless. Instead of allowing button pushers the opportunity to steal my joy, I'm in prayer for them. I pray that God would change their hearts and that they would turn to Him.
We, as children of our Heavenly Father, have SO much power. Power that isn't found in self-help books, or on tv (by people who don't know Jesus I might add), or in a song, our power lies within the Holy Spirit that resides in us! Thank you Jesus! Our power comes from prayers! Thank you Jesus!
We are so blessed. We have already won the battle Christian!
Don't let the button pushers of this world get to you. We have much to do for His kingdom and sitting around grumbling is exactly what the enemy wants. We grumble, we are useless. Turn it around and pray for them.

"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us who can be against us?" Romans 8:31

Fear not, O believer, for there is naught to stand against you! All potential powers and enemies pale in significance to the power of God. No mere creation can threaten to undo the work and will of its Creator. God is sovereign. He holds all things in the palm of His hand, He does whatsoever He wills to do. And He loves you! Therefore rejoice, for while God is for you, O child of faith, nothing can truly be against you. And He is with you to everlasting.

Complete in Him,

Amen, sister. We have to keep our eyes on Him or like our brother of long ago, we'll sink like a lead shoe.
