I have never met a perfect human being. We all have faults, shortcomings, areas of our lives that the outside world does not always see. We have been given an opportunity to be introspective these last few months. To take stock of our lives, our habits, our character. What has God revealed to you in your life that needs to be worked on? I am working on patience, thankfulness, quieting my tongue, listening more, less binge watching and binge eating, more reading, deeper study of God’s word.
We are all in the midst… in the midst of a pandemic… in the midst of an emotional crisis… in the midst of a physical struggle… in the midst of a spiritual battle. Overcoming the sin in our own lives, the bad habits, the wrong thinking, takes work. Takes effort. In prayer, I confess my sins and under the power of the Holy Spirit, I take heed of that still small voice, directing my thoughts, my words, my feet.
Jesus had trouble, difficulties when He walked this earth. He knows and understands exactly what you are going through. Turn it all over to Him. Submit your life, your all to Jesus, walking with a new focus, a new heart, a new attitude. You can be an overcomer!
John 16:33 “Jesus saying, ‘I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.'”
