What do you believe?

     What do you believe? What do you stand for? They say if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. So what do you believe? What do you stand for? In times of adversity, what is that thing that keeps you motivated to keep your head up and moving in a forward direction? If you don't know, then it's time to figure it out. And figure it out fast because life will not stop happening to you. 

    Let me take a minute to tell you at least 12 things of what I believe in and what I stand for.  

I believe that:

1. God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are real and lives/works within me.

2. I am God's workmanship/handiwork/masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works. (Ephesians 2:10)

3. He will never leave me nor forsake me. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

4. The things that are impossible with people are possible with God. (Luke 18:27)

5. I am blessed because I believe that He will do what He said. (Luke 1:45)

6. If I delight myself in Him that He would give me the desires of my heart. (Proverbs 37:4)

7. If I confess my sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

8. That my God shall supply ALL my needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)

9. That if I lack wisdom, I can ask my God who gives to all generously and without reproach. (James 1:5)

10. My God is faithful, He will not let me be tempted beyond me ability and that in every temptation, God provides me a way of escape. (1 Corinthians 10:13)

11. That if I seek the Lord, He will answer me and deliver me from my fears. (Psalms 34:4)

12. That whatever I ask for in prayer, if I believe that I have received it, then it is mine. (Mark 11:24)

    These are just a few from my long list of the things that I believe and stand for. In times of doubt, chaos, confusion, trouble, whatever, I pull from my list to strengthen and encourage myself. Did it happen overnight? No. But I got tired of, and here is my truth, waiting for people to help me overcome and no one came to my aid. Or when they came, it was conditional. We can not always wait around for someone else to do it for us because that will not always be the case. Sometimes there will be no one else to do this for us. If you fall, you have to be able to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep it pushing. Time nor life stops because we may be going through. So again I ask you, what do you believe? Figure it out.
