Stay On Course

Neither give place to the devil. Ephesians 4:27

How often have we allowed someone to talk us into doing something we really didn’t want to do? There have been times when we allowed someone to lead us in a way we really did not want to go, and just because they were our friends we did it, even though we knew it would not work out in our favor. People will say whatever they need to say to get us to do what they want us to do, and many times these people are the ones who are closest to us. If we are not careful we can allow friends, family, and others to draw us away from what The Lord would have us to do. The Scripture reminds us not to give place to the devil. I encourage you today not to allow anyone but The Lord lead you. The Lord knows what He has in store for your life. Keep your hand in His hand and do not allow anyone to steer you off the path The Lord has set for you on. Do not allow the devil any space or place in your life. The devil is a liar, and he will say and do what he needs to do to lure you to a place of destruction. You know for yourself what The Lord is doing in your life, so do not allow the enemy to trick you into anything that will take you down. The Lord has great things for you, and you cannot allow the devil to have any place in your life. I thank God for every path He is leading me down, and I shall not allow the devil or any of his agents to stop my blessing. Since I know The Lord is leading and guiding me, I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, lead and guide me in the paths that you have for me. Grant to me discernment so I will know when the enemy tries to take me off the course you have for my life. Thank you Lord for always leading and guiding me to my blessing that you have prepared for me. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
