Allowing God Due Access

We should expect and be watching and listening for the knowledge and wisdom Father is giving. This year is the year of saving money because we are allowing the Lord His due access to our mind, will and emotions. This year is the year of preventative considerations so that we do not have added burdens and misery, because we are allowing the Lord His due access to our mind, will and emotions.  Compare 1Peter 5:8,Amp—“Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.”


Blessed Assurance Undergirding Us

BridgeGirdersOn top of outright trying of our commitment is added the machinations of that “roaring lion” (1Pe 5:8). He seeks to devour us and, at all costs, stop us and leave us choking short of the goal. But we have more than a coach or cheerleader working in our behalf and a blessed assurance undergirding us knowing that Jesus is for us. No matter what presses against us and no matter how determined the opposition is, our Lord is going before us in resurrection victory and in intercession: “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded {permission} to sift you like wheat; 32 BUT I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers” (Lk 22:31-32, NAS).
