How are You?

How is everyone doing?

A question that I know is somewhat hard to ask especially over an email. But really how is everyone doing spiritually? As life keeps going and everyone is going every wich way, it is hard to be able to grab everyone and ask how you are doing? Even better how are you growing the Lord?

On Friday night we are going over the Lord's armor and being ready for the every day spiritual battle that takes place. In it, Paul tells us to put on the Lord's armor and to be ready for Satan's snares as he wants to destroy us. Have you ever noticed when you become so busy with life that you can easily overlook being spiritually prepared. I am being honest, it is easy to overlook and think you are ready but how are you growing in the Lord? Ephesians 6:10-11 tells us to be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armore of God that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.

Before you overlook this and continue with your daily tasks, please ask yourself, "How am I growing in the Lord?" Maybe you are ready a good book, maybe you are actually doing devotions, maybe you have set more time aside for prayer, I don't know but ask yourself, "How am I.

May we all look at ourselves and be convicted where we need conviction and encouragement where we need encouraging.
