Lately the devil has been manipulating me and Jason to believe the worst in ourselves. To trust that we have nothing to offer the world. The devil does this to all of us, in our most vulnerable times. It is despicable really. He knows how to manipulate us so well. Sometimes I think the devil knows us well enough so that he can try to cause us to doubt who God says we are. I was reminded of this the other day when I, of all people, had to speak life and truth into someone I love. The doubt they were holding onto was the devil's thoughts about who they are, not God's. God says that each of us have a plan and purpose in our lives. He wants us. He knows us and loves us. Doubt forces us to believe we are nothing. It hinders us from living with God's purpose in mind. In our most vulnerable states, doubt creeps in and takes over. When we give in and doubt our purpose and call in life we are trusting the devil, not God. Because there is not a doubt in my mind that Jesus is Lord and that He came to save each of us individually and as a whole for the Glory of God. But why do we doubt then? If I know this truth why in the back of my mind do I doubt my future? Because I've let the devil in I suppose. A terrible thing to do. Let the devil in and he can manipulate you, causing you to doubt your future and purpose. I don't want to do that with my life. That's why God spoke to me and told me how to remind Jason of who he is which helped me remember who I am. Through Jason's hardest moments I ended up bettering myself. I started to believe who God says I am. These reminders are always good for us in our faith so that we trust God. When we are having doubts in our lives we can rely on God to bring us out of that place. He knows what he is doing in our lives, whether we are jobless, wealthy, bitter, divorced, or anything. He knows what He is doing. It's hard to trust that sometimes, I know. We need to though. It says in Psalm 94:14 that the Lord will never forsake us because we are His inheritance. That is awesome my friends. We are treasures in God's eyes and He will never let us go. I hope you remember all God has done for you and how we should not doubt His divine plan for our life.
