Becoming and Overcoming

This last month has been a whirlwind with vacation and staff changes. It is time to focus on some spiritual growth. Anyone want to join me?

There is a great word from Getz on p. 21. "As you evaluate your life, be on guard against discouragement." Getz goes on to remind the reader that Satan will remind all of us that it is impossible to become what God wants for us. We can become what God wants, but not without his power.

Thus, we all need to remember James 4:7-8: Submit therefore to God. Resist the Devil and he will flee form you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

We can pretend to stand up to evil and Satan. However, we only have the strength to resist when we are submitting to God. If you resist God and Satan, you will fall. We must submit to God first. The rest will fall into place.
