Saying and doing are two different things. It is easy to say a thing but backing up what you say is a little more difficult. God wants us to be doers and not just those who hear His Word. He wants us to live the Word we read about, hear about, and speak about. None of us are perfect but we all can strive to do what is right.
When you think about the word strive, it means to make great effort to achieve or to obtain something. It involves struggling and fighting vigorously. A lot of times in life we get lost in the struggle. We give up or we quit because we "feel" as though we can't make it. We have to get to the place where we refuse to quit and we refuse to give up and we have to understand that we are not fighting alone. God is our strength. We have already been declared victorious in all the challenges we will ever face because the battle has already been won. Even when it looks like we have lost a challenge we have to remember THE BATTLE HAS BEEN WON.
Today I want to say don't give up. Don't quit and don't give in. Know that God is with You. Know that He is watching over His Word to perform it in your life. Stay in faith. Don't allow the struggle to trick you into believing you can't make it. Not only can you make it, you will make it because God is on your side.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Psalm 118:6-9
King James Version
6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.
