Let Go & Let God

#ChildOfGod

What are you living for? What are you looking forward too? What is your motivation to get out of bed every morning?

Sometimes there is a lot of things you can mention and sometimes it feels as though you are just too tired. Too tired to think, to dream, to feel…in fact you just want Jesus to come and get you now.

This is exactly what the enemy wants. He makes sure that you have no energy to enjoy the blessings God prepares for you every day. How does he do it? Well, he does not have the power, unless you give it to him…so this is how it happens.

The enemy knows exactly what your weakness is and he uses that over and over again and most of the time, it works, because we as humans are predictable and weak.

Your phone and the TV are the two things that looks so innocent, but this is where evil lives. No, it is not necessary to get rid of your phone or TV, but it is important to know how easy you can be tempted if you are not vigilant.

The pop-ups, the notifications, etc. has a purpose…to keep you busy, to overwhelm you so that you think there is no time to spend with your God. It creates an environment of urgency, in such a way that people would rather answer a text while driving, than worrying about the safety of the people in the car with them or around them.

Because you spend so much time on your phone (or in front of a TV), you start to get health problems for example with your sight, with your back and neck; because have you seen how you sit or stand while you are busy on your phone for hours? What about depression and anger? You lose contact with your real world and start to live in this “pretend world”.

The point I want to make is: when you start to feel that the world is beginning to get too much for you, too loud, too busy, just stop and be still. You really do not need to answer all your messages (does not matter on which platform) immediately. You may take a break. Put off your phone or give it to someone and just go be alone somewhere by yourself. Ask God to just be with you, to give you strength, peace and guidance.

Do not make it easy for the enemy, know your weakness and make sure you pray for protection and guidance. Use your phone and social platforms to glorify God, do not make it a weapon for the enemy. 

“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30
