Keep Going On

There's a lot to do in life. Recently, I have felt overwhelmed with school and just life in general. There is so much to do and I am only a teenager. The common thought that goes through my head is, "Kristin, how are you suppose to live in the real world and be an adult if you can't simply be a teenager." I quickly shove that thought away. There is nothing that can come against me and Jesus. There is no one that can come between me and the future Jesus has for me. Therefore, I have to remember that the devil is constantly trying to get me to stray from this plan.

Keeping this thought in mind, that the devil wants us off track, can keep us on track. We know that the road with Jesus is not easy but it is worth it in so many more ways than we know. We have to keep our faces and our focuses forward if we want to head that way.

When I have discouraging thoughts rise in my head, I have to rise higher and praise Jesus through my heart and thoughts. You see, we cannot let the devil take us over. We have full control over the devil. Not many people know this, but it is the key to overcoming every obstacle. Simply say the name of Jesus, worship Him, and resist the devil. The devil has to flee when we resist him. When we resist him, we are resisting temptations and schemes as well. We have to be alert though and watch careful with our faces high on Jesus. We can't miss what He is up to. Let's move forward by looking forward with everything we have... eyes, mind, body, love, heart, worship.... all of it. 

Let's lay it all down..  all the idols we worship. None of them have kept their promises. Only Jesus is God. So, let's put down every weight that holds us back and run to Him.
