Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 24 June 2008

What is your journey: Who dictates and What dictates, YOU Part of our journey in life is recognizing who and what dictates you. Does money dictate your future? Does success dictate your actions going forward? Or could it be your intellect? Maybe it’s your credentials? Age? Marriage? What dictates your life? Today’s word of encouragement is answering these two simple questions. Who dictates your life and what dictates your life. The who. It is either God is in control or He isn’t. The what. The what is circumstances. Are we allowing circumstances in our life to dictate how we live our lives? Our journey has already been made. God says in Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Do you believe that the Word of God is true or His promises to us? If we don’t believe then God does not dictate YOU and we will allow frills in life to dictate the What. In my opinion, if God dictates our life, NOTHING can stop us from fulfilling God’s plans. Lack of money, SO WHAT- GOD IS MY PROVIDER. He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever (Psalm 111:5) I am not smart enough, SO WHAT- Lord, Your word says that you use the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and you chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong (1 Corinthians 1:27). Finally, I hope that we would be encouraged today to rebuild our relationship with God. Because the moment we lose God we will lose everything that draws us towards God. If we don’t know the Word of God we will never understand His promises for us. Today, let our journey in life be dictated by God. © June 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com
