Good Morning!! What about me,...and what I want? There is nothing wrong with wanting something, for ourselves,...the problems begins, and quickly get out of control, when we trust anything other than God, to make it all better. We have to learn to pull ourselves out of our situations, and begin seeing things from God's perspective,...instead of our own. It takes discipline and self-control to live for the Lord, despite the situations, and events, in our lives. We need to say, "OK,...God is powerful, and He has the ability to change my circumstances, if needed. God is wise, and He has the ability to give me the wisdom to deal with these circumstances, if needed. God is loving, and He knows what I need, better than I do." When we can apply these three attributes of God: powerful, wise and loving, to all of our circumstances,...we're able to trust God,...in all situations and events,...and thus, able to bear fruit in all we do,...and with all we have.
Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.—Galatians 6:8-9 (NIV)
Two thing to learn and remember: To pull ourselves out from the circumstances, recall the attributes of God. To pull ourselves out from our emotions, be in the Word of God. We have to claim verses, as promises, to keep us focused on doing those things that please God,...even if it does not please others. It is in praying for self-control, to maintain a steadfast life, that brings God glory. Decisions counts, and our choices really do matter.
"My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge."(Psalm 62:7 NIV)
Father God, we seek to trust You,...above all else. Amen.
"Investing in the less fortunate, is investing in God."
