"Trust in God"

What if I told you the devil's goal wasn't for you to follow him? It's a crazy thought, right? I had this realization the other day when I was asking how anyone could follow the devil versus follow God.

It seems like such an easy decision, but I realized that devil's goal isn't for you to follow him. The devil’s goal is for you to follow yourself. It's for you to truly believe in yourself so much that you will follow your own way and your own desires. And even say that you do not need God and you don't need Him as your Lord and Savior….“Don't worry, I got this.”

In the Book of Revelation, there are times when God comes back and He shows Himself to people. It’s crazy because they still do not follow Him. I wondered how is that anyone would continue to follow Satan? But it's not following the devil, it's following themselves. That being said, there's anything wrong with having belief in yourself and confidence. Self-confidence is an amazing thing. However, it’s better to have that confidence with God, not without Him.

In the book of Proverbs 3:5-6 it says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.”

Trust in God to lead you and He will provide.

Many Blessings!
