As I looked outside this morning I found a challenging day ahead, I was once again about to step on campus. I know that may seem to be a stupid statement, but its a true statement. Every day I pass by people who are being pursued just like me by Satan. So to start the morning off right I said a prayer before class. I prayed that God would help me to be strong against the temptations of today, to be strong and control my thoughts my actions and my words. Its so difficult for me to go to class every day, being surrounded by all the foul langauge, the foul jestures, and everything else that can be seen on campus, and not find myself mindlessly following along with what society thinks is right. People say that God works in mysterious ways and they are right, but I have come to the conclussion that Satan does not work in mysterious ways he works right out there in the open and yet he still fools us, students, everyone. Its so easy for me to sit back and see what others are doing wrong and then tell God 'thank you for not making me that way' but what that does is makes me just the way Satan wants me to be. Satan wants me to tell God that, but the thing he doesnt want me to see is that I am doing wrong by even thinking that. So as I prepared for class today and even as I am sitting here writting this I am praying that God will help me to stay humble and to see that just as everyone else around me I am not perfect. I may not smoke, drink, use foul language or jestures, but I am still not perfect and the more I try to act like I am the more imperfect I become. I pray that I will allow God to be sovereign over my life, over my thoughts, my actions, and most of all over my tongue. I know that God will be there for me today as I make my way against the crowd, trying to be of God not of the world. I know this because he always has been there for me and while I see that now I havent always seen that. Now I am aware of his presence and all I have to do is let him into my life. So as I walk out into the crowd on campus and every other place I may go today I pray that God strengthens and Guides me to fight for him and not for the world.
