well here we are the middle of Feb. and the Girl Scout cookies have me surrounded and I have given them a foot hold YIKES!
My attitude has really sucked these last few days about eating... about life and I am done with giving in to THAT! No more say I!
I am so Blessed and it is time I started living like it.
My boys ..well they want to live like the world I guess I can do nothing to stop them .
"...do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.... Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good." Romans 12:2, 9
"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world -- the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life -- is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever." 1 John 2:15-17
"Jesus answered, 'My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here." John 18:36
"If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." John 15:19-20
"Friendship with the world is enmity to God." James 4:4
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.... Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!" Isaiah 5:20-21
"Do not be deceived: 'Evil company corrupts good habits.' Awake to righteousness, and do not sin...." 1 Corinthians 15:33-34
"My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent." Proverbs 1:10
I guess the last one says it all... But they are consenting ...so there ya have it.
Did I do wrong things growing up --you betcha....was I raised in a Godly home nope not at all. Did I know the difference between right and wrong ..yes but not the eternal consequences....do my kids know yes they do but this world calls them.
So My prayer is for them to change. Coz me I am not going to I will stand with the Lord .
of course now I will get off my soap box and examine my own life and see what places I am letting the world in ...like TV shows and movies... uhhh yeah... ok....
