So last night I was reading in the book of Ephesians and at the end it tells us to put on the armor of things. We must constantly be adjusting our attitudes through the reading of the Bible and things like that throughout the day.

We need daily attitude adjustments. I read that yesterday in a book and it's so true. It's such a daily thing. To be good is hard. Praying for God to change us is easy because it's mouthed words....but what if while you are praying and you feel you should pray that but don't pray it because you know if you do it will happen. What do we call that?

God is out there for our good. YEt sometimes we can believe that he will not give us the desires of our heart or give us what we really need. There in itself shows that we need an attitude adjustment. We need to be able to determine whether or not this lines up with what is really true and good. God is true and good but if we are not reading about him or praying or being connected with other believers then satan can really deceive us because we are not adjusting our minds like we should. It's just like in class...if we do'nt study we can't pass the test. Partially studying can get us a partial grade or just passing.

We need to maintain but that means we need to do something. Actively seek out the truth about God. He wants us to love him and trust him for who he is and how good he is. Just like in real life we as people longed to be loved like that and would not want someone saying they love us out of obligation.

Well I need to get myself to class. Just some words I was thinking about.

I prayed last night about something. I read in ephesians about how some people, those who don't follow jesus indulge or are ready to indulge in sin such as lust. Honestly. I feel I do have a problem in that area. I can see it. I was so quick to run into it with a couple of people, but that isn't how someone who says they follow jesus is supposed to act. It says to not grieve the holy spirit who has been with us once we accepted jesus. There is a lot now that I see that needs to be worked on. It's mostly in the mind and to be able to stop giving into the lies that attack us on a daily basis. They can be subtle and also alter what we already know about the bible but in a wrong way...fitting to our lifestyle that could currently not be lined up with the word of God.

So important. I really need to go. adios.

Before - next
