Still a choice!
Good morning brothers and sisters. You know the enemy doesn't stop! He doesn't stop especially if you are trying to live an honest and Godly life. He can't stop! See that is what we as children of God sometimes don't get, HE CAN"T STOP! We also have to remember that Satan, he was with God! He knows that God loves human beings. Satan can't hurt God. But Satan can hurt the one thing that was made in God's image. Genesis 1:26-27. 26- Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27- So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him, male and female. He created them. So if Satan can't hurt God, why would he not hurt the one thing that was made in the image of God? But we have a choice. We always talk about the choice of choosing the Lord or not. But we also have a choice in choosing Satan's way. Remember Satan doesn't have to get you tell God no. He just has to keep you from saying yes to God and fully committing to God. That is all. And remember the words that Joshua spoke in 24:15- "And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your father served were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land, you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." See choice! We don't get to say, "The devil made me do it!" The devil can't make you do anything. It is a choice. We get to choose! And please dear brothers and sisters, do not forget the words of Jesus in Revelation 3:20- "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. IF anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." Stop wondering what you did wrong for trials and tribulations to come and start asking, "What am I suppose to learn?" You will see things a whole lot different. So it is your choice, which do you choose? Rise up child of God, rise up!
