Pay Attention, Remember What You Know, & Stand

 Proverbs 22:3 and 27:12 both tell us the prudent man sees the evil or danger and hides himself, but the simple pass on and, as a result, endure suffering. 1 Peter 5 tells us to be alert for there is an enemy roaming around, not fearful, alert. There is no fear in love we're told in 1 John 4. Many, many verses in the Holy Scriptures tell us that love is greater than fear and that we are to FEAR NOT. 

God in us is greater than that enemy roaming around like a lion 1 John 4 also encourages. Fear not, take no thought, be anxious in nothing, Fret not, do no let your heart be troubled, God's commands and instructions are clear throughout His Word. He is also equally clear that there is an enemy and that enemy intends to steal, kill, and destroy us, but FEAR NOT because God in us is greater than that enemy, and GOD HAS OVERCOME the world and it's troubles. 

Believing a truth, knowing a truth, and living a truth are sometimes different. This is the time of LIVING the truths we know. This is the time the Word of God that has been planted in our hearts rises up within us and gets lived out in everything we do and say. This is that time that the prophets spoke of. THIS IS THAT TIME. 

No matter who is right, who is not, what does happen, what does not, LIVING FOR JESUS NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE. It's time to make a stand, a stand for Jesus. May His own children love others as He loves us. May we not only love like Jesus loves, but may we live as He created us to live, every day in every way. May we get in His Word and learn what that is. No matter what.

In Christ's love.
