Safeguard

Ever have something that you don't want to let go of? answer: yes! Of course we do. Whether its a girlfriend/boyfriend, body image, a favorite video game, the internet, or a cell phone, we all have that something.

God says that it is better to take refuge in Him than anything else (Ps. 118:8,9.) For myself, it's easy to hear this and not practice it. I propose a fast. Why not try just for a day, two days, even a week, for giving up something you treasure for the ultimate treasure. Start small, limit your Facebook time to half an hour a day. Don't text after 9pm, etc.

It's not easy. But when life is easy, isn't that what we should fear? Jesus promised us trials and grace, not unlimited happiness. Rely on God and not technology, don't let your date control who you are before God.

Godbless,
