Lured Away

I just looked at this blog today and realized that it has been a really long time since I wrote anything. My goal is to write something every couple of days if you know me please hold me accountable on this!

I looked at this passage this morning for my personal time:

2 Cor. 11:1-3(The Message)--"Will you put up with a little foolishness aside from me? Please, just for a moment. The thing that has me so upset is that I care about you so much--this is the passion of God burning inside me! I promised your hand in marriage to Christ, presented you as a pure virgin to her husband. And now I'm afraid that exactly as the Snake seduced Eve with his smooth patter, you are being lured away from the simple purity of you love for Christ."

I'm so afraid that in life I'm continually lured away by Satan to leave the very things that God has called me to. It's seems like such a battle sometimes to do the very things that I should do. I guess this is the same way that Paul felt as well. It just doesn't make since sometimes. I have come to the conclusion that I don't know why God chose me to do His work and I don't know why He continues to allow me to work for Him, but it's time that I showed some obedience and trust in Him. It's time that I started living each day with passion and purpose and forget about the small things in life. It seems that the small things that really have no meaning at all, like what someone says to you just trying to be hateful or what people do to you just trying to pull you down, you and I should hold our head up high as the Bride that was prepared for Christ for "such a time as this"!
