This my Spiritual site, but I share a lot of different posts on this site. This site is where my Podcast was born. It is on Spotify, and Anchor. Food for the Soul.
When we are spending time with God, and when we submit ourselves to Him, the devil has no other choice but to leave us alone. He does everything he can to distract us from spending time with God.
This is why we must always put God first as soon as God opens our eyes to see a new day we have never seen before. When we do that, the devil does not have a foothold on us, he cannot touch us.
When we pray to God, whether we are speaking to Him silently, out loud, or by writing, w e are putting God first. He sees everything, and He knows everything we do.
Spending time in the Word of God is putting on the full armor of God. His Word is our protection, from Genesis to Revelation we are protected from the devils schemes. Remember that the Word of God is our defense against the enemy. His Word is our weapon to fight the enemy everyday of our life.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I am so glad that we serve a forgiving God! He is so loving and kind. He forgives us for the wrong things we do, and for the mistakes we make. I am also glad that He is the kind of Father who chastise us when we need it because it is for our own good and not to hurt or harm us, but for correction. What kind of Father would He be if He did not chastise His children? He does it because He loves us. Fathers who chastise their children loves them enough yo correct them, but those who don’t doesn’t care to teach their children right from wrong.
Sometimes when we go through a tragedy and don’t know why, it can cause a person to lose hope in everything. We may never know why things happen in our life, or in the lives of others, but I suppose everything is not for us to know. We live from day to day that the LORD gives us and we make mistakes all day long because we are human beings, but God doesn’t hold them against us, He forgives us.
This is what the Scripture tells us about hope: Psalm 34:17-The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. (KJV)
Hope- (1.) a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.
Hope (2.) a feeling of trust.
So therefore, we cannot lose hope in God just because of what is going on in the world today. We can trust Him to always be here for us, provide for us, take care of us, and make ways for us where there seems to be no way. When I think about hope, it reminds me of faith.
This is what the Scripture tells us about faith: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. “And without faith it is impossible to please God, for He who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to thine own understanding.
Hope, faith, and understanding isall we have during a time like this with everything that is going on in the world right now. Times are hard right now, and we can only hope that God will make things better. It may not happen right now, but I believe that it will in His own time. We have to pray and have faith that God will turn things around for the better. I know some may think that it is impossible to have hope in these dark times, but it is. When we think about all of the things God has brought us through in the past, it will give us hope. When we think about all of the things He has done in the past, and how He created all of the beautiful things we enjoy, we can have faith. When we do not understand something, we can have understanding by going to Him in prayer and asking. When we think about all of the good things God has blessed us with, it is easy to have hope. My hope is that God will resolve this war that is going on. I pray that there will soon be a cure for these viruses we are facing every day. What else can we do except pray? Prayer is powerful, I know that all too well. I have seen God work many miracles in my life, and in the lives of others. There’s nothing that He can’t do. Nothing is too big or too small that He cannot handle.
I thought this would be fun to share. It reminded me of when I was learning to write poetry in school. I hope you enjoy the video. Click on the link above to watch.
