Arrow Stay Connected To Your Source!

I hope this blesses someone today,it blessed me Its from my daily devotional but i have paraphrased it a bit for simplicity.


Okay,


As the Babylonians(a certain group of pple in the Bible) encircled Jerusalem,the question they asked was"HOW LONG CAN YOU HOLD OUT?"

The wicked king,Nebuchadnezzar had cut off Jerusalem's food and other essential supplies. So how long could they survive?
A month passed,then wo,then an entire year,still they held out.

The secret of the city's survival lay in a hidden water supply which came from a spring outside the city walls.King Hezekiah had cut a 1777 foot tunnel thru solid rock. From there,water passed under the city walls to a reservoir inside.

Without it,those people,Gods pple,would have gone down in defeat.

The lesson to learni is this:

To live victoriously,you must:
1)be able to identify your life's TRUE SOURCE
2)Draw daily from it
3)Protect it

If ur security,ur strength,ur self-worth or even ur strategy for living come from any source other than God,you're vulnerable

Everything you need comes from God,so protect that relationship(if you have one)....if you dont,theres always an opportunity for you to start one today,NOW!
Nurture ur relationship with God,for it will always be the focal point of satan's attack.

A day without God's word isnt a slip,its a set up for failure

Prayerlessness isnt carelessness,its craziness or arrogance

"Well",you say,"Im doing okay and i dont pray much"....Maybe you havent reached your hour of testing yet. When it comes, and it will,what will you draw on?Answer this:

If you can do it without God,is it even of God? If its not, itll go up in smoke...........so, stay connected to your source !


Have a nice day y'all and remember,God cares about you too much for you to ignore him,he loves you......do you love him back in return??
