5:8 Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour. Like is the key word.
Our adversary our adversities " look like" they can devour us. And will if we focus on them. 4:4 Little children, you are of God, and have overcome them; for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS
KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS, OUR LEADER AND INSTRUCTOR. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy He knew would be His afterwards; and He sits in the place of honor by the throne of God. After all, you have never yet struggled against sin and temptation until you sweat great drops of blood.
Hebrews 12:2-4:2 TLB
I know the pain of adversity feeling you are all alone with no one to turn to ...
I call it the 666 feeling ....John 6:66 6:66 After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him. Have you seen the pic of a dad teaching his son how to ride a bike I still remember that sick feeling oooh God I'm on my own .... but I made it wow these are the same kind of moments our heavenly Father wanting us to see Him bigger and more loving than any problem anyone could ever have ....CAN WE TRUST HIM?
HE ALONE IS HOLY HE ALONE IS ALL POWERFUL THERE IS NO OTHER, HE IS GOD ALONE.
I felt like that to day all alone I try so hard to know God more and the very people I try to help try to hurt me. I question why are they doing this to me but than i remember my Lord's words 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 15:20 Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. 15:21 But all this they will do to you on my account, ...
This makes me feel like i'm doing something right.
It's not easy but with God's words in our hearts
19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
16:18 And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. THE adversary has been trying to make himself and adversities bigger the Our GOD forever but the only thing big he has is his lies 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? `Even' because ye cannot hear my word. 8:44Ye are of `your' father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. 8:45 But because I say the truth, ye believe me not. 8:46Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? 8:47He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear `them' not, because ye are not of God.
Voice Of Truth - Casting Crowns Lyrics Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
On to the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand
But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"
Chorus:
But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand
But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"
Chorus:
But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth
But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
On top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me
Chorus:
But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe-
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth
I will listen and believe
I will listen and believe the Voice of truth
I will listen and believe
Cause Jesus you are the voice of truth
And I will listen to you, you are- |
JESUS IS THE VOICE OF TRUTH
10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. |
