I like the wo...What does it mean to be determined?<br /><br />I like the word (synonym) undaunted. To me, being determined means to never give up, to never give in to the temptation to quit. It means a choice of will to do something, in spite of my feelings. It means a dogged effort to achieve something, which requires overcoming obstacles.<br /><br />What is something that you have determined to do in your life? In your spiritual journey?<br /><br />I've toyed with getting my Master's degree. But have not yet *determined* to do that! I suppose one thing I've determined to do in my life is to keep OFF the weight that I lost 3 years ago. In my spiritual journey, I have determined to stay in the Word on a daily basis - knowing that this also affects my faith stamina and endurance.<br /><br />Why is the enemy determined to stop us - and how does he try?<br /><br />The enemy is determined to stop us because he hates God - and therefore, he hates God's children. The devil wants to rule it all, and to the extent that we participate in advancing God's Kingdom, he must stop us. He tries in so many ways. A master of lies, self-deception, temptation - he uses every weapon at his disposal to thwart us, discourage us, defeat us. He wounds us at our most tender spots, and picks at every vulnerability.<br /><br />Fortunately, he fights against the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.<br /><br />Determined was my *word* for the year 2011. <br /><br />This year, I am determined to OVERCOME!!<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-46040618500102783332012-09-08T10:12:39.678-07:002012-09-08T10:12:39.678-07:00Determined is a good word.

We have to be more determined than he is. <br />Blessings,<br />CharlotteCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533075034458645148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-23389316325063258382012-09-07T18:30:26.860-07:002012-09-07T18:30:26.860-07:00To make a choice and stick with it.To make a choice and stick with it.Chatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-41380102492865166452012-09-07T13:46:00.553-07:002012-09-07T13:46:00.553-07:00I am determined to be one who pleases God.
