Just For Today
Good morning and God bless you! I started this
whole thing out by sending a text to two of my sweet friends who need encouragement
to overcome food and sugar addiction, just like me. Each day I like to send
them a few words to encourage them for the day, as the Lord continues to
encourage me.
It really is a day by day walk; even a moment by
moment decision to make the right choices and be successful in overcoming the
obstacles that lay before us. Anything that we have been addicted to in the
past is something that we can never again dabble with. To do so is extremely dangerous
and will lead us down a wrong path.
Even though we get the victory over that
mountain, through Jesus Christ our Lord, we have to remember that if we were in
bondage to it before, we could become ensnared by it again if we are not
careful. That’s why we have to watch and pray. I mentioned this in my blog last
Sunday. The Lord showed me how to do this – really.
It is not going to hours of prayer. It is
recognizing the situation at hand and seeking to get the Lord’s help
immediately. He knows what we are faced with and He is right there to help us. Sometimes
all we need to do is to leave the situation, either the kitchen, or whatever
applies in your situation and just go ask Him for help. Then wait to hear from
Him – He won’t keep you waiting long before you will have your answer of
encouragement. Then you and I can go back to what we were doing with the
strength of the Lord going before us.
Just for today, let’s not allow the enemy to
bring any negative thoughts to our mind. Let’s open ourselves to the word of
God as our lamp, our guide, just for today. Let’s remember that we do not have
to deal with tomorrow. It is not here yet. Yesterday is over and done with.
Remember that Jesus said…
Revelation 21:5
Then He who sat on the
throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for
these words are true and faithful.”
Today is a brand new, fresh day - like a load of
clean laundry just pulled out of the dryer. Just for today you and I have the
power living within us through Holy Spirit to make the right choices as we
place out total trust in the Lord. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone
else. Freely we have received – freely we give, in Jesus name!
God bless you!
