Things are changing

Well,
I have not updated this since August 09 and yet it seems like an eternity. But, in perspective to God's time it has only been a few minutes. I am reminded that change is inevitable, God loves change. We as a people not so much. We tend to prefer no ripples in the pond, keep things simple and just the way they were. The problem with this attitude is that when we stay there too long we become something else....complacent. This is defined as: pleased, esp. with oneself or one's merits, advantages, situation, etc., often without awareness of some potential danger or defect; self-satisfied: smug, unbothered, untroubled. I don't know about you, but I find that very troubling and not a place I care to be. When we become so set in our ways that we lose awareness of potential dangers. This is true in our everyday life as well as our spiritual life. Because we know according to the Word of God that Satan goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may destroy. But, if we are daily putting on the armor of God and are vigilantly alert then we can use the shield of faith to stop any arrows that the devil will try to hurl at us. The key of course is that we absolutely must allow God to work in us and through us because we cannot do it alone. We can do all things through God who strengthens us. Not my words, but Gods. So remember when you are feeling down feeling like you just can't handle it...you don't have to, turn it over to God let Him carry the burden and trust that He will not only provide a means for you to make it, but He will protect you from the devil. Let me know what you think or if you have any comments.
