Burdens gone

Yesterday I had a back adjustment and massage. I always forget how bad my back gets until it gets back to normal.
Isn't it weird that we will just cope with pain and discomfort? We allow it to become a part of our lives. Instead of dealing with our problems we adjust to them.

Then one day we wake up comfortable with our sin. We allow the enemy a foothold and then a stronghold. As a result we bear heavy burdens we were not made to carry. This could result in back pain, it could result in a dry spiritual life. It could steal your joy, or it could render your ministry ineffective.

What can we do? Fight back! Scripture says, "strongholds of the enemy are defeated by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony."  Pray against agreement with sin and share God's victories in your life. When Jesus died, conquered death and came back on the third day, he took all our burdens with him.

New Day

Today is a day of change. It marks the end of an era in my little family's life. Etta starts her new job today, working for the first time since she was pregnant. Azariah spends an entire day being watched by our friend and not by his mom. As the man of the family my role changes, and my daily routines change. Add all that up to the sunshine and beautiful day in Nashville.
One conclusion God is good! Praise the Lord of heaven and earth!

It is in days like today that i can take comfort that our God is a constant God. He is our rock and foundation when everything around us changes. I know that He works through everything for the good of those who love Him. So i can trust Him with anything, because i know His intentions for me.

WWY = warm with you
