Yesterday was a very good day for me! I had prayed a few days ago and asked God to send me what I needed, worded just that way. Immediately I thought of First Thessalonians. Now I have problems sometimes discerning whether the answers I get are in fact from God or if it's just my weird brain. But I went and opened my Bible to Thessalonians and God showed me this,
" That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. For this cause also thank we God without ceasing because when ye received the work of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe."
As I read this I felt so awful knowing that I had not walked worthy of God. My pastor spoke a sermon once about David and how he had displeased God, and the sorrow that he felt knowing he made the Lord unhappy. I understand these words now. At the same time I was feeling awful I also felt an overwhelming joy at understanding God's never ending patience and love and forgiveness.
This past Sunday P. Jason said that just because you are saved doesn't mean that Satan will leave you alone. This is soo true!! The temptation to do so many things is as ever present as it always has been and because you God's child the devil will try his hardest because nothing makes him happier than to steal away one of God's children.
