"I think it's God's way of getting my attention saying,'You better wake up girl.I have important stuff for you to do in this life,' and I've definitely been preoccupied or sidetracked doing the wrong things."
Born in Fort Myers,Florida,McCreary started singing as a child at Pentecostal Church
Too often the lure of fame and the temptations that come with it snare us and lead to our sure destruction.
The choices we make now,good or bad will affect us one way or the other later.
Often it is a wise decision to pass up on the offer that is 'too good to pass up.'
Elvis Presley assumed that he could serve two masters but like Jesus said ; You Can't !
Anything we put before God ,whether it's a boyfriend or a bottle,it soon becomes an ever tightening noose around our neck.
Seduction is deadly.
We're in a hurry and want instant gratification and do not learn to wait on the Lord.
Seeking the Lord is key but how easily we are sidetracked by the little idols that tug at our hearts.
These same little distractions always become the big monsters that eventually drown us unless we build our lives on the only solid rock foundation.
We give up on God too quickly and return to the futile efforts of our own failed ways.
That's Satan's number one way he defeats us.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,and lean not on your own understanding;In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
The evil influences that abound in America easily gain our attention and master us with this godless American culture. When we are sinking in the sin and dregs of this corrupt world we must earnestly and with all our heart seek the Lord and never let go just as if our life depended on it.
The picture of the drowning man totally focused on reaching for the lifesaver is how we should learn to not be distracted by all the things of death floating around us.
All we need is the Life Saver and his name is Jesus Christ, not doctor or his pills,not drugs,not sex,not religion,not anyone but Jesus.
That is how we receive the grace of God to overcome the sin that so easily enslaves.
Jesus came to set us free and when we trust in Him alone we are free indeed.
Jesus is our victory over sin that always destroys,He paid the price for us and when we attempt to fight this battle on our own strength we shall always fail because Satan the enemy of our soul is more powerful than we mere mortals apart from the power of Jesus Christ's blood atonement for us.In America the wrong things are all easily available and elevated high while God has been brought down low and outlawed by the wicked who are in authority and the people love it .
That is why this nation is turning into a corpse before our eyes.
