SPELLS

When I hear this word I always get this image of some wizard or witch uttering some magical words. The kind that turn princess into toads or some other special trick.

I know there are those that claim they can work all kinds of spells, but personally if such people possess these kinds of powers, I have witness them using it. I'm not saying they can't, just am unable to testify to such things myself.

From my view whatever magic might exist the truth is that I don't feel it can compete with God's power. I personally wouldn't want to take bets on it either.

Instead, I would rather concentrate on the reality that any choice other than god is not a good one. Just not in my view. And I don't think I am alone in that regard.

I was told by a friend the other day how this person we both know had made an allegiance with Lucifer. This being Satan naturally and not exactly a wise choice from my view.

After all, Satan is known as the father of lies. So how could you really trust anything he claims? Where is the logic in that?

I don't care how much he bothers to promise or sway with some soothing words, you can't trust him. I'm not saying he doesn't have any power.

Just that he is not one to be trusted. I think that is not too hard to appreciate. But apparently regardless of all the warnings in scripture and how he is depicted, there are always a few that will seek him out.

I can appreciate how life gets difficult at times. It can be very challenging and demanding.

Disappointment happens so often and our dreams can vaporize in reality's light. So understandably their are people in such situations who will rationalize such help, no matter how risky is worth the effort.

My life is hardly a tribute to prosperity and fame. I have survived and not homeless, but not exactly famous or successful on some panoramic scale.

I do accept that I have made plenty of wrong choices in my life. I don't blame god for that.

But regardless of the failings of my life, I would still rather trust to God's blessings and mercy than turn to some deceiver's promises. Perhaps I may cheat myself out some fleeting moments of pleasure in the process, but at least I can sleep with my convictions and actions.

In heaven there will be no losers only those draped in the gold of God's love.
