Christianity and Challenges

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18|NIV

If you are a 'baby in Christ' you need to understand that you are now a magnet for the enemy. All of your troubles have just begun but putting on the whole armour of God is how you can experience God's overcoming Grace. He has fought our battles for us and won. There is no reason for us to lose if we are in Christ.

The Word of God is our armour. The scripture quoted above is "chock-filled with wisdom." The inspired Word of God is nothing but wisdom. When we read it, meditate on it, munch on it, chew on it, digest it, and regurgitate it to ourselves and back to the enemy, we are overcomers in Christ. We can then enjoy the victory God has given us as His children/heirs.

This scripture tells us challenges will come (all circumstance) and we are to give thanks to God, no matter what! He will keep us in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him, so we can be joyful because we are praying continually . . . as is the will of God for us! It tells us what to do and why! This is how we grow from babes in Christ to full Christian maturity. We start with milk and are weaned to enjoy the meat of His Word and meet every challenge in life.

Blessed means to be happy! God has blessed us. He is our Comforter. We are truly a blessed people. Give thanks and praise . . . always!

I'm praying for you. I love you . . .

because of Christ,
