Sometimes it's easy to be so caught up in the future that you forget all the great and mighty things God has already done, just looking back the last year I'm totally amazed.
The things God has done in me, what He's doing in the youth and my church it's just awesome, and it's all things I once prayed for but never really noticed happening until I look back and see just how much God has done.
It will be nice just to get away for a bit. The last week or two have been tough, I've just felt so attacked really.
Thoughts of fear and rejection seem to be bombarding me all the time, and just stupid things like being woken up in the night and struggling to sleep, I hate sleep but unfortunately I need it!
Gods caused me to stand pretty strong in it all, but it still seems to wear me down, the constant lies the devil seems to whisper in my ear.
I've learnt to stand on the truth of Gods word in those times though, the devil is a liar but God is Truth!
The devil may tell me I'm rejected but my God says that I'm accepted in the beloved, adopted into Gods' family, and made everything in Christ Jesus! The devil stands there shouting rejected, yet he is the essence of rejection himself, cast out of heaven and rejected by God.
He may tell me to be afraid but does not God say perfect love casts out all fear, and does not perfect Love dwell in me? And does it not say that it is in fact the demons who fear and tremble?! The only weapon the devil has against me is words, and Gods' word says no power of the enemy shall by any means harm me. His words are lies, and nothing but weapons to use against him.
He stands there trying to make my heart fear yet he is the picture of fear itself, while I have been set free and made accepted, clothed in righteousness, and seated in heavenly places with Jesus!
So I will dance on that mountaintop, because as always my Gods made a way and is making a way, and nothing the devil does shall stop that! :)
