《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day Four

Day Four.
Verse:
"But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge." Psalm 94:22 NIV
Is God your refuge?
When bad things happen: do you run to God, or run away from God?
For the longest time, I was on the run from God. I was depressed, suicidal, calling myself an atheist, hating God, cursing God, and making some bad decisions. Once I started being homeschooled and started going to church, I began building a good relationship with God. I had to come clean with God and start living for God. But for the longest time, when bad things would happen to me, I would run away from God.
Now after many years of building a good relationship with God, going to therapy, facing my past, getting on good medicine for my bipolar, and with all Glory to God. I am finally seeking God and running to God despite my circumstances. Because right now I am struggling with pain: physically and mentally. I know I can't do life without God. So I am running to Him.
I don't know what you are going through or what you have been through, but I do know that God wants you to take refuge in Him. He wants to help you and be there for you. He knows life is rough. He doesn't want you running away from Him when things get bad, instead He wants you running to Him.
I know it's easy to run away from God because I have done it so many times. But now that I know what to God is like, I won't ever run away from God again. Because I need Him and I can't do life without Him.
The old saying goes: "God won't give you more than you can handle." I don't believe that. I believe God does give us more than we can handle so we will go running into His arms and take refuge in Him.

You don't have to go through life on your own. You have God who is waiting for you! He's not mad at you because He loves you more than you can ever imagine. He just wants you to come home.
So come home to God! He is waiting for you and can't wait to be there for you!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I am coming home to you. I am tired of running away from you. I just want to be close with you. So please wrap your amazing arms around me and help me. I can't do life without you. I need you God. Please fill me with your love, grace, and forgiveness.
I thank you for all my many blessing, for Your Son, Your love, Your grace, Your forgiveness, and for You Lord.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

Sexy Sect Babes
“One in a billion.” Jack kept repeating the mantra in his head. “One in a billion.” That was the number the Omni-Corps liked to cite whenever someone stepped onto one trans-mat pad and then simply… never stepped off the other. “Safer than a car,” he repeated as he slogged through the snow, his mining overalls doing at least a passable job of keeping out the cold as he brushed aside a tree branch. “Safer than a plane. Or a starship. Safest form of transport in the Star League.” He slammed his fist into a nearby tree, exo-empowered strength shattering it into little more than scattered bark and kindling. “Yeah, well I never heard of a car ride stranding some prick in another dimension!” He roared, his voice echoing through the seemingly endless forest around him. Then he kept marching. He’d seen the fire off in the distance. And given all the snow around, he sincerely doubted it was natural. Which left the unnatural. Which meant people. He hoped. Because even if the trans-mat had screwed up, he doubted it had dumped him too far off the central finite curve. The fact that the air was breathable and that he could recognize the trees around him as oak told him that much. And if the dimension he was in had trees native to Earth, chances are it would have animals too. Of which humans would hopefully be no exception. “Because I’ll be damned if I spend the rest of my days talking to goddamn squirrels.” No, if there were humans on this mudball, he was going to find them. One way or another.

Anti-Hero: Journey of Fear
There is a story where the hero makes friends, completes quests, and saves the world. This is NOT that story. In the VR world of Fate: Experience Acute Realism, the main character cuts his way through both the players and NPCs alike. This story takes a close look at how a true full immersion VR would be played. The setting is an open VR world where the players struggle to survive with a lack of knowledge and the NPCs panic in regards to the Travelers invading their world. The anti-hero of this story is cold and calculating. Sparing no one from his reign of terror he gives into occasional bouts of kindness before he is forced back on the path of blood and tears. For where there is a hero who seeks to bring people together to help the world move forward, there is an anti-hero who brings people together to seize the world for himself. WARNING: This story contains extreme violence, in every single chapter. This story contains references to sex, but no explicit scenes. This story has light to mild swearing. My chapters normally range from 4,000 to 5,000 words. This story does not contain happy endings, middles, or even beginnings.

Technically Sentient
Technically Sentient is the uncomfortable answer to the Fermi Paradox: bureaucratic inertia. There's also a shark cop in there too. And a human meat tank and a bunch of greys down on their luck and a viral bioengineered killing machine and a T-posing AI and a cat. But they're not important, in the grand scheme of things.
