What is it you want to do? Do you want to do what is right? Do you want to please God or do you want to please man? What you want to do is what you will do. You have to begin to want God more.
When you want something more you will begin to do whatever it takes to get it. When you want to please God more, you will begin to cast down the desires of your flesh. What we tend to do as people is to live by our desires. We allow our desires to rule and to reign in our lives and we have to understand, there are good desires that lead us down the path of righteousness and there are desires that lead us down the wrong path. We have to make sure our desire to please God always overrides the desires of our flesh.
When you think about what you want to do, begin to think about what God would want you to do. After all, it is only in Him that we live, breathe, and have our being. If it wasn’t for God, we would not even exist. He placed us here to be His representatives in the earth. Ask yourself, what are you representing with your words and your actions. When people see you, do they see the God in you or do they see you in hot pursuit of worldly desires?
Remember to cast down everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of who God is and what God would have you do in every situation concerning your life.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Philippians 2:13
King James Version (KJV)
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
