PURE SUBMISSION!

” People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives. ” Proverbs 16:2

TODAY’S QUESTION: How often do you do something without first thinking it through?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Making decisions in life can sometimes seem easy and at other times seem extremely difficult. It is in the difficult times that we most often find ourselves before God, pleading our case for the mistakes we have made by being too hasty in our decision making.  It is being too quick in moving forward that leads us to do things in our own way and to not seek God. We don’t take time to pray and ask for his help. We don’t take the time to be patient and wait for his answers. We don’t listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, who gives us guidance and leads us down the right pathways.  These are the times when we find ourselves looking foolish and becoming sorry for larger mistakes we have made that have affected others. God has not promised us a perfect life in our obedience to Him, but He has promised His protection.  He provides guidance, hope, peace of mind, understanding, and a life that is less complex than the one we often create for ourselves. The key to all of this help, is through total submission to His Holy Word.  We must learn to trust his ways, his thoughts and his actions. Then, with patience, our lives will become more simple and less complex.  PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
