Today’s thought is a continuation from blogs I wrote on May 28 and 30th…
Yesterday my final line before scripture read: Â The scary part for me is I know my “curtain” can turn from brick to fabric pretty quickly if I’m not disciplined in my faith walk.
What I meant by that statement is I know what I’m capable of doing. Â I ran with the devil during a not so pleasant period of my life…the devil knows what I’m capable of doing also.
My belief is no matter how close my walk with God is, the gap between my faith walk and evil remains the same. Â As you know from my “curtain” illustration yesterday, God showed me how close evil is to all of us–all of the time…it is right next to us.
So what does all of this mean?
What does this have to do with perseverance?
I’m not a theologian or a pastor and I’m far from being perfect, but I’ve been following Jesus long enough to know as long as He is at the center of the majority of my thoughts, words and deeds, the devil has less of a chance at getting into my head and filling it with thoughts around scarcity, negativity and impossibilities, which are all mindsets that prevent us from persevering.
I’m not where I want to be but thank God I’m not where I used to be!
