In the last days, the world will become so evil that it will find ways to lure you in.
I have been trying to stand my ground in the last few months and I've been really scared about a lot of things especially about compromising your principles. I am surrounded by different influences in the field that I have chosen : both bad and good company.
Sometimes, it's really hard to stand out when you're supposed to blend in. But then God reminds me that I should keep my feet planted on the ground and not be shaken. I admit, it's been really hard on my side. The pressure, the time management, the sudden change of environment. Yet I have really proven that God is still amazing since he provided me with people whom I can really have "Christian talks" with.
Last night, while I was spending time with Jesus, I told him how much I really need his help. I was like, "Lord... I really want to talk to you but I can't put it into words and I don't know what to say... Everyday is a war... Help me not to lose the battle... I'm scared." That's how the conversation went, and then he led me to Hebrews 10. My Bible is in NIV version, and the title of the chapter was "A Call To Persevere".
I knew God was talking to me that time... asking me to persevere despite other influences around me. I felt like he was telling me that he's sending me to the world, to be a positive influence to those who are trying to give me negative forces. I felt like it's time for me to get out and really apply what I've learned from church. Maybe this is it. I am taking this as a test of perseverance. It's time to go out and stand my ground. All I'm asking for is his help and protection.
