Things Pondered

I have been pondering a lot lately. Thinking about who I am... Thinking too much about how I feel, and not nearly enough about what I know.
So, what is it that I know?
Well...Let's see.
I know without a doubt that GOD is GOD, and I can trust HIM.
I know that I am HIS workmanship, created in CHRIST JESUS for good works.
I know that HE knows everything about me and LOVES ME JUST THE SAME. HE knows my failures and my shortcomings and my idiosyncrasies. HE KNOWS IT ALL.
I know that NOTHING that I do will ever catch HIM by surprise or make HIM change the way HE feels about me...HE LOVES ME.

I was thinking about a couple of things that I heard yesterday...I am going to share them with you now.

Satan would have us paralyzed with our struggles and our doubts.
I have thought a lot about that, and I almost gave in to the lies of the enemy. I was about to allow him to hold me captive to my own struggle and doubt. I am reminded even as I type this that when I am believing something contrary to what GOD'S WORD says about me that I MUST CHOOSE to believe GOD and take HIM at HIS WORD. I MUST CHOOSE to believe it is HIS WORD for ME. HE does not intend for me to be held captive by the lies of the enemy. It was for freedom that HE set me free.

Let GOD be true and every man a liar. Romans 3:4
Of all of things that I know to be true I know for absolute certainty that GOD'S WORD is truth and I can always count on it. I know that I can turn to HIS WORD and can trust HIS heart when HE speaks to me from the pages of HIS BOOK. I know that HE has never failed me. HE has never been unfaithful. HE has never been less than HIS WORD says that HE is. All of this I know and I can and will make the CHOICE today (right now) to take HIM at HIS WORD and believe GOD.

Thanks for listening as I share my heart. Thanks for walking this journey with me.
It is ONLY and ALWAYS Because of JESUS!
