The descent of a Spiritual High---or is it??

While in youth prayer tonight God really placed something on my heart. We were doing a devotion before our time of prayer and it said how we need to be careful of the descent after a spiritual high.

Why? --because the devil is mad; he knows that God has won. This makes sense, and then God put this revelation on me:

So often after spiritual highs, we search for the bad and the discouragments trying to "be careful". Thats just what the devil wants us to do. What if instead we changed our perspectives. Instead of waking up thinking "ok Lord, last night was awesome i guess today is going to be hard"; we need to be thinking "ok Lord last night was awesome and today I am going to keep you first"!!
-Spiritual highs don't necessarily have to end. Start your day asking God for new grace, new understanding, and great encouragments. *Stay on track with Him.

I know what your thinking, easier said than done? Trust me, I know. I have had sooo many times where I leave church or a prayer meeting or a convention/camp feeling like a giant; nothing can get me...and then everything gets to me. But what I often fail to see is that God's presence and grace DOESN'T LEAVE.


So I hope to encourage and remind you that God's love is greater than we could ever comprehend. We should be focused on surrounding our entire day with His presence and making a concious effort to stay positive. Perspective is key.

Proverbs 17:22 A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
