Bailing on God
A lot of folks end up bailing on God. They start out on fire for Him. Loving Him. Following Him. But then they turn their backs on Him. Why? Because He didn't perform according to their expectations. They have put God in a box and He must perform according to what they think, what they expect. But God is God. He does what He will. He knows best! Yes, trusting Him is a difficult thing. Especially when we don't understand. Suffering and trials are a part of life - both for the believer and the non-believer. In a way it's more difficult for the believer because we expect God to deliver us from the trial. And sometimes He does. But sometimes (often) He just promises to be with us through the trail. And when suffering causes us to 'let go' of God, Satan has won. He gets us to turn our backs on God and go back to the world (the wilderness). God will use the sufferings and trails in life for our good and His glory - IF we continue on in faith. IF we keep believing, keep trusting, keep hoping, keep praying. Not easy. But doable. So please don't bail on God. He really does know what He's doing!

Dangers of Yoga
This will not be a popular post (that is, if anyone even reads it!). I'm gonna talk about yoga. I'll do some quoting from the late Dave Hunt's book: Yoga and the Body of Christ.
It concerns me how many Christian's are getting on board the yoga bandwagon. They don't question it's beginnings (or how it could end!) I wonder if they are even talking to God about it before they sign up for it at their local YWCA or wherever. They just get their yoga mat and head on down to participate. Most think that yoga is just about physical exercises that are meant to be beneficial to our health. (and I'm sure there are some physical benefits, but there's some benefits to walking or running as well).
I quote from Dave Hunt: 'Not many Westerners would become involved in yoga if they knew that it lies at the heart of the religion of Hinduism and its goal is simply to "realize" that one is a god, fulfilling the Serpent's lie to Eve'.
He goes on to say: 'Thinking they are buying health, millions are unwittingly getting entangled in Hinduism. Believing they are being taught scientific practices, yoga enthusiasts, unaware of the deception, are led into dangerous Eastern religious beliefs and rituals that designed to introduce them to the occult'.
Yoga is dangerous and deceitful and I encourage you to do some heavy research on the subject and/or read Dave Hunt's book, which lays out the dangers for those thinking of or are already participating in yoga.
