Have You Stopped Dwelling On Who Left and Turned Your Attention On Your God Who Has Always Been There?

Have you gotten over it yet?   Over the people that left you?   The ones who didn't understand and didn't want to take the time to get to know exactly what you were going through.    Those who left you in the midst of your pain.    Have you ever thought that God wanted you in a position where you had to lean on Him.   Where you had to trust Him.   Where you had to believe Him.    Did you ever stop to think that you were just too dependent on that person in your life?   So dependent that you were failing to trust in God because your trust was in them and what they could do for you.   Or in the fact that they were visible and God was not.   

Understand today ... if they left ... that means there purpose was fulfilled.    The supply and designated time they had for your life was met.   The allocation of their time for you was for your past and now God is moving you into your future.    The one unchangeable thing and person in your life is God's love and God.    He is the one who was with you in the past ... He is with you now ... and He will be with you in your future.   

Start living for the unchangeable.   Start living your life in a way that you believe what He is done.   You are sure of what He is doing and you trust what He is about to do.    Settle it within yourself that God will never leave you nor forsake you and He will be with you forever.

Who Is Missing? Are You Overlooking Those Whom God Has Placed In Your Life?

Who is missing?   Who is it that you haven't talked to that has been on your mind?   Who is it that God has laid on your heart that you have been praying for?   Understand ... God will give us specific assignments.   It is not by chance that you just thought of that person and they just so happened to call.    These are the people whom God has connected to your destiny.    Are you overlooking the thought when they come into your mind.   Or are you stopping to pray and are you reaching out to give them a call?   It may even be someone who hurt you in the past.   Maybe God wants you to release them from the captivity that you have been carrying in your heart.    No matter the reason ... God has connected your life with theirs.    Understand that there are people that God wants to love on and He wants you to be the vessel of His love that flows to them.    

Sometimes we get so caught up on what is going on in our lives ... it is hard to see what other people are going through.   This is why we have to learn how to cast our cares on God.   If we know that God is taking care of our needs ... we can help bring others into that same revelation.    So don't overlook whomever God is laying on your heart.    Their need goes deeper than you know.   It's not about what they did to you ... it's about what you are called to do for them.

Are You Allowing The World To Put You On Display ... Or Are You Putting God On Display?

Are you allowing the world to put you on display?    It is the worlds desire to make you think it is all about you.   What you can do ... how you look ... and what you have to say.   But it's not.   That is a deception.   Take a look at how the world does things.   Advertising is key.   Advertising is built around making you think you need something that they have.    It is a tool that is used to peak your interest and draw your attention.   Eventually pulling you towards your desires and not necessarily your needs.     It is a tool that causes you to want to reshape, reconfigure, and reconstruct your life based on what they see is the way you should dress and the things they think you should do and partake of.    In many cases it draws on your physical qualities and not your spiritual well being.   Eventually bringing you to a point where it makes you think about what you think about you and not what God has said about you.  

Be careful of how you are being enticed and what you are being lured to.   Always remember it is not about you.   Understand that God works from the inside out.    It does no good to beautify yourself on the outside if you are all messed up on the inside.   If you never deal with your spirit man ... you can be the most beautiful person on the outside and totally lost and overwhelmed on the inside.    Make it a point to always let God be the one who is on display.    As He builds you up internally ... He will be the one who is seen externally.

Do You Understand That Unforgiveness Not Only Restricts The Person Who Hurt You ... It Restricts You?

Forgiveness.   Who is it or what is it that you are allowing to hold you back?  To hold you in bondage?   To keep you from getting to your next level in God?  Is it really worth the cost?   The cost of staying stationary in God.   The cost of no peace.   The cost of not receiving God's forgiveness based on your inability or should I say refusal to forgive.   Matthew 6:15 says if you don't forgive men their trespasses ... neither will you Father forgive you your trespasses.    Understand it is a high price to pay for you to walk in unforgiveness.    

You may never know why they do what they do or why they did what they did.   But you have to make it a point to release them.    Release means to set free.   It means to allow or enable someone or something to escape from confinement.    It is time to let it all go.   Understanding when you let them go ... you are also freeing yourself.    Unforgiveness not only restricts the person who hurt you ... it restricts you.   It confines you because you place borders around your life and limit the access within those borders.   Understand when you limit access there may also be some things that God is trying to get to you ... but based on your limitations of unforgiveness ... He is not able to get them across the boundaries you have set up.   

Make today a day of forgiveness.   Free the person who hurt you and in doing so you will free yourself.

Are You Allowing Your Life To Be A Response To God's Word ... Or Are You Simply Saying Something and Never Lining Up Your Life With What You Say?

Are you giving God a response?   We get so much ... We fill up so much on God's wisdom and God's word .... but are we giving Him a response?    A response is a reply or an answer.   How are you answering God's question when He asks will you serve Him?     He is not necessarily looking for a verbal response.   He is looking for life response.   A response where your life lines up with serving Him.   A response where your thoughts line up with trusting  Him.    A response where you let go of the worry and doubt and walk in peace.    What response are you giving to all the word that He is giving you?

We have to get out of the place where we are just "socially impacted" by God's word.    Where we are motivated in the group but lost when we are all alone.    God's word is not just for group motivation.   It is for personal manifestation.    The thing is ... when we are in a group environment ... we believe that God can ... but are we making it personal to our situation?   Do we believe that He can and will for us as individuals?   

Start allowing your life to give God a response to His word.    God said He would never leave you nor forsake you.   Live your life as though you KNOW that you are not alone.   God said He would supply all your needs.    Live you life expecting God to take care of the situation.    Let your life be a response to what your Daddy, your Creator, you King has told you and is telling you.

Is Your Hope and Expectation In God's Plan or Are You Being Disappointed Based On What You Want?

Are you disappointed in God?   The word disappointed means to be sad or displeased because someone or something has failed your hopes or your expectations.    How do you get disappointed in God?   How do you feel as though He has let you down?   The only way we can get disappointed in God is if our expectation and hope is in what we want ... when we want it .... instead of in His plan.    We have to get to the place where our hope and expectation is in the plan and purpose of God.   The desires may be the same.   What we want and what God wants for us may be exactly the same.   However, He has a plan and that plan has been in place since the foundation of the world.    We have to let our hope and our expectation be in God fulfilling "His Plan" for our lives.   

Along with hope and expectation comes trust.   We have to trust that our Daddy knows when we need whatever it is He has prepared for us.    It is only when we feel as though our desires ... what we want ... have not been fulfilled that we become disappointed.    Understand that disappointment leads to so many other things.    It leads to distress and disobedience.    There are times when we move on our own based on our disappointment.   

Make up in your mind that you are going to wait on God.   That your hope and expectation will be in God's plan and you will trust in God's timing.   Make up in your mind that you will wait on Him and that you believe that He knows what is best for you.

Are You Moving In Anxiety or Have You Learned How To Wait On God and Be Stationary On His Word?

Are you moving to soon?   Are you anxious and stepping out on anxiety instead of word.    Understand that anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, and unease.    If you are moving in any of those three areas ... you already know that you are not stepping on steady ground.   However, if you move on the word ... the word is sure.    It is solid.   It is firm.    We have to learn how to step on the foundation of the word.   

Have you ever been in a situation where you just felt like you had to do something ... you had to move  ... where patience was not an option.    It is at those points in life that we have to begin to understand that moving in anxiety is not of God.   God said ... "BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD".   He told you.   He told you that He is God over your life and God over your situation.    Stillness says ... "I'm not moving until God tells me what to do".    Stillness says ... "I am stationary" ... which says that you are rooted and grounded.

Learn how to wait on God.   To move in His perfect timing and to experience His stability in your life.   Amen.
