Reflect God's Glory

 

    Reflect on God's glory as you get to know Him.  Remember who you are in perspective of who He is.  Embrace humility by acknowledging you are created by God.  God has made you special, but that will only be truly revealed when you take the time to understand who God is and your place in this world.

    God has given you the ability to combat Satan, but you need wisdom and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to do it successfully.  Never seek to attack Satan, but do not run away from defending what is Holy and righteous either.  Satan has a plan for you too.  You do not want to be caught up in his plan because it will only bring pain and misery to your life.

    Once you let Satan in on something that seems innocent, he gets a grip in your life.  This normally happens to a person when they are young or when they first become a Christian.  This area becomes a stronghold.  His stronghold will silence the righteous.  Instead of being silenced, turn Satan's stronghold over to Jesus.  Jesus will break the chains and become your new stronghold.  Jesus as your stronghold is a strong fortress that will protect your mind, body, and soul.

    Jesus cripples Satan.  If Satan has power in your life, then it means you gave it to him.  You also have the power to break loose if you choose to turn to God.  Allow God to thrive in your heart and soul to become stronger what what you were before.  

    Strength comes through endurance.  That means that your problems will not go away, but you will be able to go through the trail and tribulations with purpose.  You will never endure them alone.  When you can't go any further the Holy Spirit will help you keep moving.  When you get to the other side of things, you should be transformed into a stronger person because of God's glory.

    God is power.  Most of his power is unseen, but it is there.  You can see it in creation and miracle events, but it is so much more than that.  When He opens His mouth and says something, it happens.  The proof is in the creation story.  His power of creation is beyond what we can see.  Jesu and the Holy Spirit were right there with God in the creation.  We have no excuse to not know God.  He is everywhere.  His glory is evident.  Let it live through you.
