The Lord will restore!

“But I am innocent. I didn’t do what they said I did.” Have you ever had to say that? Were you ever placed in a position where you were truly innocent, yet you were blamed for something? This is not new. Joseph was sold into slavery because his brothers were jealous of him. Job went through tremendous adversity even though he was a righteous man. However, if you look at their latter state, God restored everything to them, and even blessed them beyond anything they could even imagine. Sometimes the enemy attacks you because of your purpose and potential. If you are going through a season like this, understand that there is a recompense coming your way. Continue to stand on His promises, no matter what the enemy or others might be accusing you of. God knows you and is with you. Your breakthrough is on its way!

Job 42:10 “And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.”

This can take you down!

We’ve all heard the term “skeletons in the closet.” It is said that we all have some. It means that we’ve all done things in the past that we are not proud of. Today, this has become quite the liability. Even politicians have been challenged by others investigating their past. Sometimes they’ll even go 20 – 30 years in the past, all in an attempt to find some “dirt” in an attempt to discredit them. Considering this, it is even more important that we walk in true integrity and righteousness. And when we mess up, we should own up to it and apologize. This way, the enemy won’t have a foothold in our lives. We can’t be responsible for the way others live, but we can be responsible for the way we live. Actions have consequences. Live in such a way that no one will be able to accuse you. This honors God, and no one will be able to successfully take you down!

Proverbs 28:18 “Whoever walks blamelessly will be saved,
But he who is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.”
