STAND BACK UP! 11-18-08

Have you ever fallen? Yesterday at basketball practice, I was jumping at the grass area and then I fell. It still hurts! Yes it is ouchy but I still stand back up because I know I can. As of today, how many people in this world is fighting the devil and losing?

Many of us are. Some people who fight and fall might sometime go on their own and follow the devil but rejoice because many others continue to fight for the Lord. They always have God with them. Have you ever falled and almost gave up?

God has always given us trials to go through. These trials are a test for us to not only grow in trusting God but also to show us how much we need God. Many times our pride, our anger, our selfishness blinds us from God. Blinds us of how much we needed God.

As of this I just wanted to ask you people. Are you following God? Are you accepting the challenge and not just give up when you know its coming? Are you growing in faith....?

Sorry for this short devotion. Hopefully I would make a longer one next time.

John 10:28-29
28I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. 29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all;no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
