"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 9 December 2013, from Cindi, a daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."
Today's Bible Verse: 1st Peter 5:6-11 "Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking who He may devour. Resist Him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Jesus Christ, after you have suffered awhile, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen"
Wow!!! Peter in these verses hits the nail right n the head. In verse 7, we are told that as Christians, we need to present all our WORRIES, ANXIETIES and ALL our PROBLEMS to God in order for Him to settle them.
In verse 8, we are to be self disciplined, to think wisely not foolishly. We are to be aware of the spiritual pitfalls of life, and take the steps necessary o make sure that we do not stumble. Satan is loose on this earth as a ROARING LION, and he is CUNNING and CRUEL. He is our AVOWED enemy. He NEVER ceases from ATTACKING us, and he is also CONSTANTLY ACCUSING us before God, but PRAISE GOD we have Jesus our High Priest who stands before the Father on our behalf and since Jesus is the BEST DEFENSE attorney in the entire UNIVERSE we are judged NOT GUILTY for we have been washed in the Blood of the Lamb.
In Verse 9, we a Christians are NOT to RUN, but to RESIST and to FIGHT, rather than FLEE. We are to RESIST in the STRENGTH and POWER of Jesus and NOT our own. Our VICTORY comes when we remain committed to God, because He is GREATER than OUR ENEMY and Satan and his demons TREMBLED at the Name of Jesus Christ.
In verse 10, we as Christians are told that God WILL make our way STABLE, despite the instability we feel, living in a world that inflicts suffering upon us. God WILL give us the ABILITY to SUCCEED in ALL that we do for Him. God helps us face the attacks of our enemy, by building in in a FIRM FOUNDATION that will make us STEADFAST and IMMOVABLE.
In verse 11, we are reminded by Peter that God is in CONTROL of ALL thing both in this world and throughout eternity. "Amen" at the end of verse 11, echoes a Jewish practice of declaring that EVERYTHING that had been said is TRUE and that the hearers were committed to putting into practice that Truth.

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. ALWAYS remember, that when you have a spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, or financial dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," Listen to the Sweet, Soft, and Tender Voice of God as He WHISPERS to you, "BUT I CAN."
Jesus Reigns, and He Is, Has Been, and ALWAYS Will Be In Complete and Total Control!!! May God's Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.
Your Sister in Christ,
Cindi
