Getting Back Up Again

We all have our fight in this we call "life" and believe it or not it will never be easy. Sometimes, we forget to put armor before getting into a fight because what we all have in our minds is either to get even or to win the fight without thinking about the preparation first. And so we ended up being swayed by our feelings.

Have you tried to ask yourself, what should I do if I get into this fight? what are the things that I must have before getting into this fight? what should I be thinking before getting into a fight? Is this even worth fighting for? how much energy do I need to consume for this fight?

More often than not, we don't ask ourselves those questions because we tend to be greedy to get into a fight without even thinking first. It is really hard for us to fight and get back up over and over again even though there is nothing wrong with getting back up, but the fact we are doing it in the wrong way is going to be exhausting.

Life is beautiful more than we could ever imagine because it is a gift from God. But if we don't know how to take care of it and handle the things around us according to the will of God, it can be ruined, destroyed, and unpleasant in our own eyes, because we are the ones who make it more complicated by being so stubborn.

Life is more than being a life, it is something worth fighting for and something that can be treasured forever.

There are times that our minds are becoming the boss of our flesh. We may have the minds to tell us what to do, but our way of understanding things is way beyond different from how God understands the things that we are going through.

Just because our mind tells us it is going to be difficult when we try new things out, we will never give it a try. What if your mind is just being fed with lies by the enemy and you just follow what your mind tells you that you can't do it and you let that fear dictate what to do? What if that new thing is something that God is telling you to do to become successful? But because you let your fear lead the way, you were not able to go to where God is leading you which is one of His promises to you.

Our ears can hear so much noise in this world, and believe it or not, most of the time what you can only hear is the noise from the head of each person and that is through their mouths. An example of that: are complaints, fear, vengeance, jealousy, anger, and a lot more. It is so sad to know that this world is full of these things but God keeps reminding us that He has overcome the world.

If we let those noises in our hearts, ears, and minds tell us what to do, we will never hear God to where He wants to lead us. That's why it is important that we read His word or the Bible to have wisdom before we do anything, and go anywhere and be with anyone. Have a heart that is eager to follow God's direction, thirsty for His word before doing some action, and hungry for wisdom so we don't lean unto our understanding.

When you fall, you get right back up again, right? But what if getting back up again is easier said than done?

Everybody has sinned and no one is perfect. But it is important to note that forgiveness can only be given when you: Admit to sinning, truly feel sorry for having done it, and humbly kneel before God, asking for his mercy. Only then will you be forgiven.

That means that you cannot just say, "Oh, sorry I sinned," and then everything will be okay. No, you have to truly mean it and try your best to never do it again.

Sometimes, having the eagerness to win the fight, we tend to sin and do something wrong or not pleasing to the eyes of God. Sometimes, we forget that whatever we do should be for the Lord alone and not for anything else. If we do it for God, He blesses us even more, because that way is also an act of worshiping God.

Never quit if you stumble. Get back up. What happened yesterday no longer matters.
Today is another day, so get back on track and move closer to your dreams and goals. You can do it.

We are all amazing and perfect in the eyes of God because we are His children. Just because we encounter hardships in life, doesn't mean it is a good signal to have blemishes in our hearts, minds, and souls by sinning. God's word is the best armor that we can have in every fight that we get into. You can never go wrong by choosing His word to become your armor.

Let me share the things that we should be doing to enable us to keep going.

1.) Train your mind to always tell you to read the Bible even if you don't feel like doing it. At the end of the day, you will always end up looking for God's presence when you fall because our strength is limited and God is the omnipotent source of strength.

2.) Pray that your thinking will be aligned to God's will. The moment we did not pray about it and we did something that just feels so good to our flesh, that could lead you to something you might end up regretting.

3.) Be hungry and thirsty with God's word. There is so much wisdom with His word, so much comfort and strength. So always choose His word, not the temporary things that this world could offer.

4.) Medidate the word of God. When we read the Bible, we don't just get to understand what is written there, but most of the time, in every book that we read from the Bible, God will always speak to us, and you will know that because the Holy Spirit will help you.

5.) Obedience versus the desire of the flesh. Whether you admit it or not, sometimes we feel too lazy to do anything and all we want is to lie down on our bed and scroll to our cellphone, but let's be a good follower of Jesus by reading the Bible and don't let our flesh tell you what to do.

All the Earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
Numbers 14:21

The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
Numbers 14:18

The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift his countenance upon you and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26
