Day By Day. Moment By Moment. We Are Undefeated!

  2014 is here. My dad told me just the other day that he remembers when 2014 seemed forever away. But here we are.. January 10, 2014. 

I believe that this year holds some seriously huge, amazing, humbling, successful events. There are 355 days left of 2014. But let each day come, and as soon as you wake up.. devote your day to Jesus. Don't worry about tomorrow. Think about right now. I heard someone say once that we really only have this moment. We learn from our past and look toward our future but the place we are in now is what's most important. Because the now was once the future, and the now will be the past. It's pretty amazing actually. Time.

I bet these past ten days have thrown some challenges at you. They sure have for me. But I've been lacking something... If I commit each day before Jesus right as they come, I know for sure that I will conquer. I started doing this after Youth America and over time I stopped. But when I did this and truly meant it... it made all the difference.

When you truly hunger after Jesus and you want to glorify Him in all you do.... you realize that this day isn't yours at all. Jesus puts us here with everything we need. As soon as you wake up, put your armor on and prepare for battle. We can't take off our helmets or put our shield down. We have to live in each moment as they come and focus on living and loving Jesus. 

This literally helps. It's the key to consistency with Christ. Jesus won't force His goodness on us. We have to take it. So if you wake up each day praying, putting on your armor, being thankful, repenting, and devoting the day to Jesus you will succeed and keep your focus. There will be times of mess-ups and disappointments... we live in the flesh that is tempted all the time. But that can't stop us! We are called by Jesus and mediocre lifestyles are not what we are called too.

What happened last year or the years before don't define this year. Make this year count. Do it for the glory of Jesus and seek Him. You won't regret it. 
The devil can't compete with joy because he's never had it!
You can literally accomplish your dreams. Take it one day at a time, one moment at a time, and do it for Jesus with all your heart. Dreams aren't fairy tales if you make them come true. 

It's 2014. We are UNDEFEATED!

"COMMIT your works before the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established."
(Proverbs 16:3)

"TRUST in the LORD, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land, and verily you shall be fed.
DELIGHT yourself also in the LORD; and He shall give you the desires of your heart.
COMMIT your way unto the LORD; TRUST also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.
And He shall bring forth you righteousness as the LIGHT, and your judgement as the noonday.
REST in the LORD, and WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any wise to do evil.
For evildoers shall be cut off:but THOSE THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD, THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH." 
(Psalm 37:3-9)

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 
Draw close to God, and He will draw close to you. Cleanse your hearts, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded."
(James 4:7-8)


Jesus, thank You. You hold us and You see everything from start to finish. You ARE the Alpha and Omega. You ARE the beginning and the end. Thank You JESUS! I plead the blood of JESUS over every reader! Show them Your Love in such a way that they would be changed and never turn back to the former ways. Jesus you make all things new. Use this year and us for Your glory. Help us see Your Light always in all that You do. I send angels to protect and minister unto all of us in Jesus name! Amen.
