One must admit they don\u2019t know everything or have all the answers to life\u2019s difficult questions. Pride keeps us from submitting our will to the Lord. Wanting to do everything in our way and time, waiting for God\u2019s guidance puts a crick in things. But we must bow to the Lord\u2019s authority to receive the blessings He offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My heart aches for those who don\u2019t fear God and give Him the proper respect He deserves.&nbsp; Not only do they miss out on the Lord\u2019s blessings in this world, but they miss the glory that awaits them in the next.&nbsp;&nbsp; Put God first in Your life, submit to Him, and receive abundant life, now and to come.&nbsp; Don\u2019t fear people; fear life without the Savior.&nbsp; The enemy wants you to believe you don\u2019t need God or that He exists; don\u2019t fall for his lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give the Lord the rightful place in your life, above all others, worship Him.&nbsp; Allow Jesus to direct Your paths, following Him closely to your eternal home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Prayer:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Lord,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Thank You for sending Jesus to save us.\u00a0 Please help us keep our priorities straight, with Him leading our lives.\u00a0 Give eyes to see and ears to hear to those who believe the devil\u2019s lies.\u00a0 Let them come to You and find the saving grace offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">IJNIP.
