Life doesn’t always work out the way you want it to or even expect it to. The question is, what do you do when it doesn’t? What do you do in your times of pain? What do you do when your healing isn’t manifesting as fast as you want it to? What do you do when life seems to be handing you lemons (as people say)? What do you do when you don’t seem to have enough? Are you turning to God or are you becoming frustrated and failing to walk in faith?
The journey of life takes us in many different directions. Most of our directions are a matter of choice and we have to be honest, sometimes our choices are not in line with what is best for us. Have you ever had times in your life where you made decisions based on your emotions at that given moment and then regretted the choice you made? Sometimes that’s what we do. We decide based on what our flesh is telling us at that given moment. We have to stop making decisions based on how we feel. We have to learn how to make good decisions based on what God said. We have to remember our decisions not only affect our today, they also set us up for our tomorrow. Our future is affected by our choices today.
Take a moment to push pause. Think about what God has done and what you need God to do. Think about His goodness, His grace, His love, and His mercy. Now make up in your mind that you are going to trust Him. Decide today that you are going to do things God’s way.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Psalm 40:1-4
King James Version (KJV)
40 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
