I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to run from what I feel called to do. It reminds me of Jonah—how he tried to go the opposite direction, thinking he could escape what was meant for him. But in the end, he still arrived exactly where he was supposed to be.

It makes me wonder how often I do the same thing. I delay, I hesitate, I distract myself… but deep down, I know that purpose doesn’t just disappear because I avoid it. It waits. It follows. It finds me.

Maybe I can postpone obedience, but I can’t outrun what I was created for. And maybe the real question is—how much longer do I want to keep running?

Always pray.

It’s the most powerful tool against worry, doubt, and fear.

MANIPULATION

[clothedinjesus]

Pride is one of those sins that can sneak up on you when you least realize it! No matter how much time you’ve been a Christian, no matter how much Bible you know, or what you’ve done for God, etc. YOU ARE STILL SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE SIN OF PRIDE. And to think you’re not IS a form of PRIDE. No one wants to be that Christian that admits they have fallen to the sin of pride… but it happens. When you recognize that in yourself, repent from it and move on. Clothe yourself with humility (Colossians 3:12-14) and feed your soul with the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). At some point or another we all struggle with pride. How much or how little of pride you experience doesn’t matter… because at the end of the day any amount of pride you experience and act on is BAD FOR YOU. Pride is selfish, it exalts itself, it doesn’t care about your neighbor, it doesn’t exhibit love! It is self serving. You were made for more than that. You were made to love, not to be prideful. Pride separates you from God and from what those around you. Strive to be humble, not prideful.

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but wish humility comes wisdom” Proverbs 11:2

“God opposes the proud and shows favor to the humble” James 4:6

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:12-14‬ ‭

For am I now trying to persuade people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. Galatians 1:10 CSB #galations #biblejournaling #faith #servantofgod https://www.instagram.com/p/CokHiNPrbyD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

James 2:19 You believe in the one God -that is creditable enough, but even the demons tremble in fear. Fool! Would you not like to know that faith without deeds is useless?

You can’t claim to believe in God and that’s just it,James further to prove his point by using the faith Abraham had along with the act of being willingly to sacrifice his son Isaac to God to prove his faith. You can’t say oh I believe in God, I trust that God will do this for me but when it comes for you to carry out instructions from God you don’t do anything.
