I’ve noticed in my life that I have these circles. I want to escape the circles but every time I think I’ve made it out I find that I’m right back in it. Is it that I’m comfortable in the circle? How can I be if I don’t want to be in there? One of my circles is eating. I find myself eating double what I need to and all the wrong things. I’ll get heavy and my doctor will give me a warning so I’ll climb out of my circle and boy do I feel better and I’m losing weight. Then something happens and I find myself back in the circle pounding down a double burger and a bag of chips! Why?? It’s because my mind has created a pathway for me that takes me to food when I want comfort. It’s fake comfort that is harmful to me. It’s a lie. How did that lie get in there? I didn’t even realize it was happening! I have several circles in my life. Lies. Our enemy sneaks in and plants these lies, telling us that we aren’t good enough, God doesn’t really help us, He cant give us comfort or help from way up there! You need food or money or sex or…. The list goes on and on! Maybe your circle is shopping or hoarding or who knows what. The devil’s bag of lies is bigger than Santa’s toy bag! How do we get out of the circles? That’s the big question. God designed us to have those circles but he was supposed to be in all of them!!if you want out of a destructive circle your caught in, invite Jesus into the circle. Study Gods word to help you detect the lie and find His truth. Then follow that truth and believe it. Ask God to help you and find a believer you trust and talk about it with them so they can pray with and for you. Soon that circle will fade and you’ll find yourself in a new one. The new circle is healthy and good! David writes in Psalm 51:10 Create in me a pure heart oh God and renew a steadfast spirit within me!
Creat in me new circles oh God and renew me and rescue me from the old destructive ones!!
Have a blessed day
