Struggles and Perserverence (Lord, Help me!)

Jesus is a living example for us to learn from. He was tempted by the devil 3 times but he resisted the temptation by quoting bible verses which the devil also gave up on 'disturbing" Him. :D

Alot of times, we have our struggles & temptations in life....even though we had made a choice to live our lives anew, to live a holy life which is pleasing to the eye of the Lord, but we seems to be so vulnerable. We strife to please the Lord at our best effort, but we don't pass every test the Lord has put us through....However I know at the end of the day, it is by God's grace n strength plus our willingness to seek for forgiveness, repent n obedience that will keep us going, running towards closer to Jesus again....For the bible says, Perseverence builds Character....if I dont even have self discipline and perservernce, how am I going to have that Character that God is looking for?

I know the Lord is dealing with me AGAIN with something that I failed to resist previously. It seems that we can't Act Blur (AB AB) with God. He will come back and deal with u on the same things which we failed previously.... :( Somehow I sensed that I need to forsake the 'old' and be "pure minded" :( God showed me a Rhema Verse Ps 112:1

"Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,WHO FIND GREAT DELIGHT IN HIS COMMANDS."

The word in red caught my attention. Many of us fear the Lord, but do we really find delight in obeying his commands? I am sure we do complain at times, this is human nature.......this is the challenge I need to face....God is testing my love for him again?? Or is he sanctifying me??? Can i resist the temptation and cast the ungodly desires away and to delight in His command whole heartedly??!?

Thank God he showed me this verse to keep the devil's mouth shut! I was starting to "envy" what my friends are enjoying now. I wished I could "enjoyed" the things that they are doing, but I DARE NOT because I have Godly fear in me. If I don't know God, I dare not even think wat will happen to me by now.....:P Gerry singing "Sexy, naughty, bitchy me.... "

I guess the verse came at the right time, TO DELIGHT IN GOD's COMMAND.....I will continue to delight and focus on God. It does not matter whether I am nicknamed as 'Out Dated" by choosing not to follow their "Open Mindedness" behaviour. I choose to present myself pure before the Lord..... Hallelujah.........
