What Are You Choosing Today? Are You Choosing To Walk With God?

Every day we get up we have a choice to make.   We have to choose whether or not we are going to seek righteousness and walk with God or whether we are going to seek to fulfill the lusts of our flesh and follow the ways of the world.   Every day is a new opportunity to tell God over and over again that we choose Him.   Our choice is what tells God what our priorities are in life. 

 

Today as you move forward with God, remember, He said to seek Him with your whole heart.   Remember He is the very reason we live, we breathe, and we have our being.   Remember, He said if we seek Him first, everything else would be added unto us.    

 

So we have to stop following and seeking stuff.   Everything that we need is found in God.  There are many reasons for us to seek God but the primary reason is because without Him, we are nothing and can do nothing.   Not only is He the air we breathe, He is also the love we need.   Remember, God is love.

Matthew 6:33

King James Version 

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Are You Allowing The Thoughts The Enemy Is Planting To Override What You Already Know God Has Said?

 What is it that has you off-track in life?    What is it that has you feeling lost and confused?   What is it that has you in a place where you are just unsure as to what to do next?   Whatever it is, it's time to let it go.   It's time for you to get back your confidence in and with God.   It's time to stop living in fear because you know that God is with you and He will take care of you. 

 

Life can be hard and it can be very difficult dealing with the situations that come up against you in life but you have to know that God is with you and He is in control.    He said in His Word that He knows the things we have need of and He is faithful and just to provide us with those things but you have trust Him to do it.     

 

Whatever you do today, don't let the enemy win.   Don't let the thoughts that he is planting in your mind override what you already know about what God can and will do for you.    Trust God to honor His Word in your life.   Trust Him to do all that you need done and trust Him to be all that You need Him to be. 

 

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

Matthew 6:7-8

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.

Are You Looking At Your Life From God's Point Of View?

There are times in life when you must step back and look at things from a distance so that you can get the full picture.   Your point of view is the position from which you see or observe something.   Question is, from what point of view are you looking at your life?   Are you positioned with God and looking at your life from God's viewpoint or are you so close to your situation that you can't even see the fullness of what God is doing in your life? 

 

You always must keep in mind that God has a plan.   Don't ever take one snapshot of a moment in your life and think that everything is over based on what you are going through at that given moment.   There will be good moments in life, and you may experience some not so good moments, but all of the moments are a part of God's plan and He is working everything together for your good and His glory.   

 

As you pray today and every day, look at what you are experiencing in life from the viewpoint of God.   When He looks at you, He see His handiwork.  He sees you covered with the blood of Jesus.   He sees you as His living epistle.   He sees you as complete in and with Him.    He sees your beginning and he sees your end.   He sees you victorious.  

 

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

I Samuel 16:7

King James Version

“But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”

Do You Realize You Can't Get To Where God Wants You To Be By Walking In Fear?

 Have you ever been at a place in your life where you don't know what to say or do next?   A place where you are afraid to move because you are not sure in which direction you should go?   God wants to take you further in and with Him.   He wants to get you from the place where you are to the place where He has ordained for you to be.   It is His desire for you to move forward in and with Him but in order for you to get there, you can't live in fear.

 

Getting to where God wants you to be requires faith.   You will have to push past how you feel and you will have to cast down thoughts and imaginations that are not in alignment with God's Word.   Thoughts will come and imaginations will come but you can't take hold of the thoughts and imaginations because they will become your reality.   

 

God wants you to stay in a place of readiness.   A place where you are ready to do whatever He tells you to do when He tells you to do it.     You can't be ready and fearful at the same time.   

 

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

Psalm 119:60

I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

 

Do You Trust God To Faithfully Complete The Good Work That He Began In You?

You have to learn how to cast your cares on God and leave them there.   A lot of times in life we pray and we surrender our situations over to God to just pick them back up.   We say with our mouth that we are letting it all go but when our situations begin to intensify, we pick it all back up and try to think of a resolution that we think we can make happen on our own. 

 

Make today and the days ahead about trusting God.  Trusting Him to do what He said He would do.   Relying on Him as your source and your supply.   Make it about letting Him honor His Word in your life without your interference in His process.    

 

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

Philippians 1:6

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Are You Giving Up Based On What You See or Standing Strong On What God Said?

 Are you allowing what your situation looks like to determine your outcome?   Do you have faith?   Are you staying in faith despite what you see in the natural?   You have to know that God can do all things.   He can make a way where there appears to be no way.   He can open doors where doors have been closed.   He can take what seems to be going wrong and He can make it right.   Your outlook concerning your situation should always be based on your faith in God. 

 

The thing about images is that they stick with you.   When you get an image in your mind, it provokes your imagination to be at work and when your imagination is engaged, your mind can go in many different directions.   That is why it is important to keep God and His Word always in the forefront of your mind so that it can filter out any though or imagination that is not of Him. 

 

With that being said, make sure you are not losing hope and failing to walk in faith based on what you see.   Make sure you are staying in faith based on what God said.   

 

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

2 Corinthians 4:18

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

 

Are You Declaring and Decreeing Who God Is When Fear Tries To Come Upon Your Life?

What are you doing while you are waiting on your situation to change?   Are you trying to make things happen on your own or are you waiting on God to honor His Word in your life?

 

Understand, when you are in a battle, fear will try to come upon you but when fear comes, you must seek the Lord and declare and decree over your situation who God is in your life.    You have to declare and decree that He is Lord of all and Lord over all that concerns your life.    You have to know that no matter what you are going through, God is on your side.   He is with you and He hears your cry.    Not only that, you have to remember that the battle is the Lords.   You can't look at what is coming against you, you have to keep your heart, mind, and eyes stayed on God who said He would take care of you.

 

The thing about a battle is we immediately go into defensive mode.   We must always remember, God is our defense.   His angels are encamped all around us.    He promised to shield us, protect us, and to deliver us.   One thing is for sure that we must do while we are waiting on our situation to change, we must keep our hope, trust, and belief in the fact that God is watching over His Word to perform it in our lives and He will make a way where there seems to be no way.
