Be God strong!

When you grow up in a world full of sin, focusing your eyes on God is by no means easy, Infact it's far from it! But being God strong is possible, after all you have the most powerful almighty King on your side. There is hope. I believe there are key ways to help you stay God strong in the 21st century. In no particular order of importance I would like to share them. 

By surrounding yourself by like minded people you are setting a key strong foundation to prepare yourself to focus your life on Jesus. These people, whether they be family, friends or even work  colleagues will be able to pick you up on the days you can feel yourself wandering from the path. They will share life with you. 

But another incredible important part of being 'God strong' is sharing his word with others who are not familiar with our almighty king. Sharing his love and word with those who are overshadowed with darkness and unable to see the light. Mark 16;15 tells us: 

We are incredibly privaledged to be blessed with already knowing Gods word, love and peace, but if we do not share this with others; we are denying them of the same privaledge they deserve! We don't have to share Gods love in big bold acts. A small quiet whisper to a person in need is often enough. By doing this you will receive blessing in your own life too. 

Going to church and joining in church activities helps keep our faith strong. Feeling the spirit in the house of The Lord is often enough to recharge our 'faith batteries' if they are running low. But please don't be dismayed if you can't make it to church or a group, worship music and sermons are so readily available on the internet etc.. That you can almost being the church atmosphere to your home! 

PRAY OFTEN, I truly believe that the only way we can tube into Gods voice is if we TALK to him! If we MAKE conversation! If we OPEN our hearts to his words, comfort and guidance. Colossians 4:2 tells us: 

It is so important that we THANK god for all the blessings in our lives, not just asking for more. He works SO hard for us and we need to be thankful. 

So last but not least, READ. NOURISH your mind with the Gospel. We have a wonderful book full of the word of God, so USE it, it's there for YOU! Read, study and pray over the word of God, you will not be dissapointed! 

I trust that by doing these things you can stay God strong in the 21st century. I have faith in you, but more importantly the almighty kind, our father, has faith in you!
