Trust and Believe God's Word

When we lack confidence in God's truth, it's easy to be deceived. It's like a plant with roots sitting on the surface of the soil. One strong wind will blow it right over. We need these scriptures and God's promises buried so deep in our hearts that uprooting and deception is near impossible.

Most people leave gardening to the experts. Especially when it comes to weeding and rooting out the things that don't belong there. That's the same thing we need to do with our spiritual lives. Leave the weeding to Jesus and trust his direction when it comes to taking care of your garden.

Have you observed a movie scene where people immediately start screaming and running without knowing what's really going on? They're just reacting to everyone else screaming and running without ascertaining whether or not there is any true danger. Let's not be that way in our daily living. Instead, be purposeful in trusting God's promise, no matter what the situation looks like.

The adversary knows that God is in control, but his mission is to convince us of the opposite. If we focus on what we see with our natural eyes, it becomes easy to lose sight of that. Take a moment to reset and remind yourself that you are in God's care.

There is a difference in the quality of work that has your undivided attention and work produced while you were distracted. In some lines of work, a moments distraction can be costly or even deadly. That shows the importance of having a mind equipped to focus. That's in our daily living but it grants insight into how vital it is for our spirit as well.

Let Jesus Be Your Accountability Partner

Those on the road to sobriety will sometimes have an accountability partner. As we continue to grow in the faith, building a support network is an effective way of strengthening your ability to maintain your growth and keep your focus. 

No Days Off When It Comes to Spiritual Awareness

Even the most beautiful weeds are still weeds and can be very detrimental to the health of your garden. This is another reason that we need to be continually developing our understanding of all things spiritual.
