As the storm clouds thicken the world will turn darker. The human race will fall deeper into sin, ignoring the warnings from God's word. Do not allow fear of mankind or the unknown swallow you hole. You are the light of the world. You shine brightly in the darkness that covers the world with God's grace, love and mercy. Nothing formed in the heavens or earth could extinguish the light God has placed in you. Hold your head high and walk by faith for God's words is a beacon of hope to those who are lost. Satan will try and tempt you to believe that you hold no value, that God could never use you to be a light. Do not listen for he speaks lies to lead you away from God. As long as you are willing God will use you. God has a purpose and plan for each of us. Remember you are loved by the King of the universe.

How sad do you think it made God that the nations who worshipped idols were more loyal to their gods than the Israelites? The children of Israel knew the living God yet they chose idols that do not breathe, speak, hear or feel. How do you think it makes Him feel today? How often do we think Israel was stupid for turning away from God when they saw all the miracles that God did for them? But how often are we just like them turning away from the Living God to lifeless idols that hold sway over our life? There were two evils that the children of Israel committed and these two sins always go hand in hand. One will always follow the other. a) They abandoned the Living God, the source of life. b) Dug for themselves cracked cisterns (idols) that hold no water. Whenever we find new idols and abandon God. We put aside the living water for the water of death. So let us be careful in who worship. Let is never place an lifeless idol before the Living God.

Let every word we speak lift those who hear it. Let every action we do bring glory to God. We don't need to add more negativity to this world or hatred. The deed does not have to be big nor the words long winded and eloquent. The smallest of deeds can bring comfort or joy to someone who is hurting. A simple honest hello how are you doing can bring a smile to someone who believes no one notices them. If we engage with those around us instead of ignoring their existence the world would be a brighter place. Spread happiness and joy instead of depression and anxiety. Give love to those around you instead of ignoring them or hatred. God gave love to us when we were still sinning against Him let us give love and grace just as He has given it to us.

Often when we read the bible we imagine that it's a far off place, different time and culture that doesn't relate with us. Those in the bible couldn't understand the struggles and hardships or even how great sin is today. People will also use the bible for the feel good passages without taking to heart the magnitude of sin and being redeemed. Our walk with God will be limited if we only focus on the righteous part of the bible ignoring the sin that put our Saviour on the cross. We must take heed and learn from those in the bible how truly evil sin is. Let us not think that we are better than them. Often we fall into the same old temptations that led those astray in the bible. Satan will use any means to lead us away from God. So every morning put on the full armour God so that the enemy's arrows will have no sting or control over your life. Stand firm today in faith knowing that God has your back!

It's easy to become discouraged when life is putting you through the buffer but we must never lose hope. God is constantly at work in our life. When the enemy is attacking you cry out to God for He is your refuge, a stronghold no one can break through. For every negative question you may have God has a positive answer. You may say it's impossible but God says all thing are possible. I'm too tired to go on. God says come unto Him and He will give you rest. I don't know where to go. God says He will direct your steps. I can't do it but God says you can do all things through Him. I can't forgive myself. God says He has already forgiven you. There is nothing too hard for our God. His strength, protection and guidance is enough for any weary traveler. He is willing to help with whatever trouble you are going through for He is love.

We all get caught up in this life, running around chasing after our desires. Constantly we chase after the illusionary pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We're so busy we don't even have time or an ear to listen to God's still small voice. Calm your racing heart and mind before your world caves in. Cry out to God for He is always listening. He knows your need before you even speak a word. When the storm rages in your life remember God is by your side and this isn't His first storm. He's been with His children through every trial they have faced from the garden of Eden until the personal struggle you are facing. Everything He has created is still under His control. And though from a human view point it looks chaotic, nothing is ever out of God's control. So when your world is crashing down around you remember that God is still God. Take a deep breath and be still. Block out everything that steals your attention away from God. Listen to His voice and He will calm your fears.

Have you ever doubted your earthly parents love? Have you doubted the authenticity of friends or family if they really know you and care about you? We may be let down by our friends and family but God will never betray us. Before God even started to form you in your mother's womb He knew you. He knew the number of hairs that would be on your head. He knew when and where you would be born. He the trials and heartache you would face. He knew everything about you before you were born and set you apart, appointed with a purpose in life only you could fulfill. When God calls you He does not call and then leave you. He does not tell you to do something and leave you with no means of doing it. God will always equip His children with the means to carry out His will. Never will He ask you to do the impossible. With God all things are possible.

Never throw in the towel, never surrender or give in to the taunts if the enemy. Satan enjoys placing doubt into the minds of God's people but you must resist the temptation to listen to the lies. Many trials will come varying in sizes from small to large. We never fight alone though and never with just our own strength. How richly we are blessed for the One who gives us a crown of immortality is the One who helps is with stand the trails thrown at us. We're not fighting a race against opponents and there is only one crown. No, God has a crown for ALL who love Him.

Do you feel as if life has drained you of your strength? Sapping all the energy from your body? The moment you wake up you just want to go back to sleep? These are way the devil attacks you so you don't live life to the fullest. However, as citizens of God's Kingdom, as His children, He will stand beside you strengthening you. If you feel as if life has gotten you down cry out to Jesus. Does not matter the time of day. He is always listening to His children. If you let Him He will soothe your worries, calm your fears bringing peace into your life.

Friends are a valuable gift from God. We should always have meaningful relationships where we are building up one another instead of tearing them down. Our lives get busy and we begin choosing which friends are more important than others. We begin to ignore those we do not truly want to be around for long periods of time. Making up excuses of reason why we are unable but in truth if we really wanted to hangout with them we would. We do for those we truly love. Let us be careful with our words and actions. If we ignore a friend or two for too long we will lead them astray. No longer will they even have a desire to speak with you. We must be careful for if they are new in the faith we could lead them away from God by our actions of indifference and neglect. Let us always show love and kindness to everyone in our life.

No matter the age change can be hard. The old you fades away to someone new. It can be scary leaving what you know but do not be afraid. God is doing new things in your life. If we live dwelling in the past we become stagnant and no longer have a future. If we allow Him He will make ways in our wasteland and lead us out of our deserts. Never allow anyone to say you are too young or too old, age or spiritual wise, to serve God. He will use those who are willing to follow Him leaving the past in the past. You will make an impact in your environment. Let the newness of this day. The newness of life in God capture your heart. Surrender your will to God and He will release you from your past and a new beginning will happen in your life!
