It's Time To Check The Reason and Resource For What You Do and Say..... What Is The Cause, Explanation, and Justification Behind Our Actions

Understanding the newness of life.   Understanding who you are in Christ.   Understanding His peace and understanding His power.   That's what God wants you to do.   He wants you to understand who you are in Him and what you are called to do in Him.   Not what you can do on your own.   God did not call you to live alone or even walk alone.   He called to you rest in Him.   To live in Him.   When you live in Him, that means that He is the sole reason and resource for what you say and what you do.    

When you say that God is the reason for what you do, you are saying that He is the cause, explanation, and justification behind what you are saying and what you are doing.    When you say that He is your resource, you are saying that He is the supply that you draw from in order to function.   

So ask yourself....where are you drawing your resources from?   Are you drawing from the well that never runs dry?   When we talk about resources, we are not just speaking financial.   We are speaking of your joy, your peace, your healing, your trust.   Where are you receiving the strength from in order to walk in these areas?    These things can only be obtained through God and His word.   So if you are lacking joy, peace, healing, trust, and provision .... maybe you need to go back and check the source of your resource and see if it is God and His word.    

Another question we need to ask ourselves is why do we do what we do?   What is the cause, explanation, and justification behind our actions.    Are we doing it to please God or to please man?   Or are we doing it to please self?   There is a reason behind everything we do.   We need to make sure that our reasons always lead to God and His plan.  

Take time today and analyze your life.   Understand the new life that God has given you.   The opportunity that has been set before you.   The opportunity to make a difference in your life and the lives of those around you.    Understand who you are in Christ and what God wants you to do.    It is only when you understand these things that you can you walk in the purpose that God has set for your life.

Lynn, I really needed to hear this message today.
It's all about JESUS and not me. I don't have to understand the situations etc. I just have to know
that when I do the Godly things I am bringing honor and glory to his name. Jesus, please help me to keep in the forefront of my mind who I am in YOU and what I have been called to do through YOU!!! Glory to Your Name.
