Words to Live by---Faith

Colossians 1:9

"Continue in Faith, established and firm do not move from the hope held out in the gospel."

I often find myself in a situation that I can't seem to handle by myself. My flesh is weak but my faith is strong. When I do or think something, then I am convicted of by the Holy Spirit, I often condemn myself. I know they are just feelings and I shouldn't go by them but trust God to help me and forgive me.

My spirit fights against my fleshly desires. Sometimes my flesh wins, I also know the battle is the Lord's, He will fight for me. My part is to surrender my will to His. I have a new life in Jesus Christ as a born again believer. 

Psalm 143:5

"I remember the days of old, I meditate on all thy words,I think on the works of thy hand."

When I recall all God has done for me, I find comfort and peace. Even when I step out of His will, he draws me back, like a Shephard guards His sheep.

Romans 15:4

"For whatsoever things were written aforetime

were written for our learning,

 that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope."

O Lord, when I step out of your will and sin against you, forgive me and bring me back where you would have me be. Accomplish your will in me. Thank you for my life in Jesus Christ. Help me to share with others your word and hope, so they can know you too.

Amen
