It Does Matter
Proverbs 17:22, Colossians 1:1-3, Philippians 4:8, II Corinthians 10:5
What is in one’s heart, mind, and thought life sets the tone for how one speaks, acts, and responds each day. Holding a grudge, bitterness, unwillingness to forgive, and resentment in the mind and heart is reflected in the daily events of life. Yes, we all have problems, challenges, troubles and even betrayals but life is greatly affected when these things are at the center of our minds. We must:
Pray about the situation for wisdom and direction
Commit it to the Lord and respond in obedience to Him
Ask God for guidance
Live in His peace…
…for it does matter if a person focuses on people, events, and even betrayal by those that we thought were close to us. The work and ways of God must be the delight of the soul or one is in bondage to the people and situation which generally results in a negative blight on one’s life.
Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to see the areas in my life that need to be adjusted and brought to Your submission and control.
Project: List the people and situations that you need to commit to the Lord and surrender them to Him now.
