Truth Will Guide You

Wisdom to Change
However, when the Spirit of Truth has come, He will guide you into all
truth. John 16:13a

I had a conversation the other day with my sister and she told me of a
young lady trying out for a position through the county. She received a
letter stating she was denied the position she applied for. Well, she set
out to find out why she was denied. Upon review with the county’s
personnel staff, in the past she received tickets and did not pay them on
time which resulted in suspension of her license. The young lady with
tears in her eyes realized her father told her to get her act together
more than once. She did not listen. She listened when she wanted to make a
change and make something out of her life. Her father revealed TRUTH, she
rejected the TRUTH and now it has cost her. Eventually she will be able to
apply for the position again, but for now she’s left thinking of how she
would not hear TRUTH from the one who loved her. 

God said be a doer of the Word not just a hearer. When TRUTH is revealed
we need to act on that Word immediately! Truth which is God’s Holy written
Word will always lead you to greatness. Truth will never lead you down the
wrong path. Truth will keep you if you choose to be kept. Truth says if we
abide in God’s Word, we shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make us
free. Free from what? Truth frees us from making the wrong decision,
heartache, consequences, trouble and a whole lot of others things you
don’t want. Truth helps us to see God’s goodness working in our lives.
Truth when applied will help you serve God with your whole heart. Truth
lets us know, don’t go that way, don’t make that business deal or anything
that would cause decrease in your life. Truth will help you save money.
Truth will help you discern fact from fiction. Truth will help you walk
upright. Truth will step in to help you not sin against a Loving God.
Truth applied to your life will cause you to live longer, stronger and in
your right mind. Truth won’t let you doubt what God says because Truth
makes you FREE! 

The Truth of the matter is, if the young lady listened and applied Truth
to her life, she would have never been denied the position. Truth will
always lead you to a path of peace, security, love, wisdom, understanding,
mercy and grace. If you listen closely, Truth is God’s way of saying, I
love you!

Prayer

Today, I talked to the Father to keep us in all our ways and to help us
trust Him with our whole heart. 

Father, we acknowledge we become weary at times and doubt tries to fill
our minds. Help us to just REST in You. In Your Word you tell us not to
grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not
faint. Father, you are faithful, who will establish us and guard us from
the evil one. Today we shall rest knowing that you are faithful to take
care of us. Forgive us when we don’t trust or take You at Your Word which
says not to worry about our life. Not to worry about what we shall eat or
put on-for You know our every need. Let our eyes stay focused on You as we
seek Your face and not Your hand. You are our Shepherd and we shall not be
in want or lack. You lead us besides still and quiet waters, restoring our
soul and leading us in paths of righteousness. In quietness and confidence
this shall be our strength. As we cast all our cares onto you Lord, You
will sustain us and never allow us to be shaken. Thank You for giving us a
peace that surpasses all understanding and a joy that’s full of Your
glory. We trust that You are at work in our lives and even though the
situation may look the same, we will remain in Your Love knowing as we
speak to the mountain it shall be removed. It’s good to know that we can
come to You and tell you what’s on our hearts and through your Word you
speak life to our souls. Truly this is a good day and we will trust
knowing that You are taking care of us. In the precious name of Jesus,
Amen. 

May you see God's goodness and His love today.

Have a Beautiful Day

Are You Faithful?

Wisdom to Change 
Faithful in all things 1Timothy 3:11b 

What does faithful mean? I found several words that really bring out the
meaning of faithful. Faithful means adhering firmly and devotedly as to a
person, cause, or idea, loyal, having or full of faith, worthy of trust or
belief, reliable, consistent with truth or actuality. As we adhere firmly
to God, devoted to him and him alone, having the God kind of faith, we
will see consistent results as we belief and rely on the Father through
His Word. Without fail, I know many of you reading this; have found God to
be faithful in your life. Am I right? Well, has God found you to be
faithful to him? Can God say this about us that we are faithful to His
Word, faithful to believe in Him, faithful to live right, faithful to
trust Him totally or faithful to resist the sin? 

Being faithful should be a way of life for us. It should come so natural;
people want to know how we are able to do it? It’s our choice if we want
to be faithful in serving and living for God. It’s our choice if we want
to be faithful to His Word, faithful to obey when He speaks, faithful to
pray and faithful to live a chaste, pure and committed life. And when we
are faithful, there are benefits God wants to bestow upon us. If we are
faithful we will abound in blessings. If we are faithful over a few
things, the Father himself will make us ruler over many things. If we are
faithful to hear, do and obey, God himself will command blessings to come
upon us and overtake us in every area of our lives. So, you can image if
we are not faithful to His Word, what comes with that. 

In Deuteronomy 7:9, you find a great example of God’s faithfulness towards
us. Therefore we ought to know that the Lord our God, He is God, the
Faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with
those who love Him and keep commandments. God is faithful to keep His Word
towards us and to our children's children on down to a thousand
generations as we stay faithful and keep His commandments. Let me leave
you with this thought, as long as you remain faithful to God and agree
with Him it will always be good for your soul.

A Prayer to Make Wise Decisions

A Prayer to Make Wise Decisions

Heavenly Father, 

I thank you that I have been granted a spirit of wisdom and revelation,
and I have insight into your ways of doing things. I yield to the
direction of the Holy Spirit for every decision I must make. My spiritual
eyes are flooded with light. I know what to do in every situation I face;
I am never lost when it comes to making the right decisions. Thank You
that I am filled with the knowledge of Your will for my life and I make
wise choices. I acknowledge You before making any decisions, and I seek
Your direction at all times. I am willing to stop if You tell me to stop
or go when You tell me to go. Because I acknowledge You, You direct my
footsteps, and I remain in the perfect will of God for my life. The Word
is my final authority, and every choice I make lines up with it. I will
not disregard the peace of God in helping me to make decisions. I align my
life with your Word, and therefore, I will remain connected to Your best
for my life. Thank You for giving me Your Word and Your Holy Spirit, who
guides me into all truth.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen. 

Have a Beautiful Day
