When Worries Intensify, It's Time To Glorify!

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

1 Peter 5:8 NIV

These past few days, I was not "alert" and "of sober mind." I was enthusiastic of posting blog entries, but my brain was so full of thoughts that are not contributing to my productivity.

I encountered a heart-breaking situation of which I would not like to disclose here. Thanks to my ever supportive and loving husband who comforted me and showered me with all encouragements he can give me.

Yesterday, I was planning to write something, but instead, I spent my travel time playing games on my phone. There was something in me that was so enthusiastic to write a devotion, but all I had was a blank thought. I was not in the mood and I was out of ideas so I spent my time doing nothing. I felt worthless. I felt pain. It felt like my problem devoured me. It felt like I needed to take a break from reality.

This day, the Lord reminded me that He is the ultimate rest of all rests. Eventhough I sinned against Him by not relying onto Him, He still reminded me that I am His, and He loves me.

It was the devil who made me think that way yesterday. Remember, he is the father of deception. 

Maybe I am still not in the mood of writing today, but I thank the Lord for His goodness, I thank Him because His love endures forever and overcomes everything. He is bigger than our problems and our worries.

Please pray for me. Thank you.

Praises and Glory and Honor to our Almighty Father in Heaven!
