We should get up each morning believing for a good day
Expecting favor knowing that God is directing our steps. At the same time. We should realize
Everything may not go perfect
Every person may not treat us right our plans may not stay on schedule
There may be some bumps in the road and things that we didn't see coming
If you're only going to enjoy the day if your plans work out
Then you're setting yourself up for disappointment. At the start of the day
You need to make a decision that no matter what comes against you. You're not going to get upset
no matter what someone says you're not going to be offended no matter what delays
disappointments, bad breaks. You're not going to be sour. You've already made up your mind to stay in peace
This day is a gift from God. We are not always going to be here
You have to put your foot down and say I am not going to let these same things keep upsetting me
I am going to stay in peace
even if the boss is unfair, even if my spouse is grumpy
Even if my flight is delayed. Even if the medical report isn't good
This is the day the Lord has made. I have made up my mind. I'm gonna enjoy it
God saw everything that happened to you. He knows what was unfair he knows how you were treated
Nothing is a surprise to him if you'll keep moving forward. He'll not only bring you out. He'll bring you out better
In the scripture it tells us to put on the whole armor of God part of that armor is the shoes of peace
Every morning you need to make sure you put on your shoes of peace too many people go through the day barefooted
Offended, discouraged, upset
But when you make this decision at the start of the day that nothing is going to upset you
Really you're putting your shoes on. You're saying God
I trust I know you're directing my steps and even if things don't go perfectly today
I believe all things are going to work out for my good
When you're in peace, you're in a position of power
The way to honor God is to get up each day with passion being your best
Pursuing what he put in your heart
There's always going to be things in our lives that we do not have the answers to
and I can tell you from personal experience as well as the Word of God if you have to know the why behind
everything and you're going to spend your life trying to figure everything out. You are never going to have contentment and satisfaction
You are never going to enter the rest of God because trust
Always requires having some unanswered questions in your life
We have to not know
and be satisfied
We have to come to a place in our walk with God where even
Though it doesn't seem fair or doesn't feel right that we love God enough and trust him enough that
We know that
whatever's going on in our life that he's still in control and that if we keep trusting him
He will work it out for our good
So many things that we can have questions about
But instead of that he wants to hear
I trust you
When you choose to worry you do not trust
When you try to fix what is impossible you do not trust
When you hurry ahead and don't wait
for the Lord to move and to change you do not trust
When you lie awake twisting and turning at night you do not trust
When you doubt biblical principles and
promises that are right here in the book you love and study you do not trust
When you turn to others first
For help you do not trust
When you listen to human counsel and give a higher priority to that
Then principles you have just learned you do not trust when you manipulate and maneuver
situations you do not trust
When you step in and take charge without
Praying and being led by the Spirit of God you do not trust
When you cling to others in order to feel secure and needed and loved you do not trust
What is it we do that keep
us from
trusting God
and how can we break that habit
And watch God break through
In ways that we would never have expected
He will win the battle he will win the battle it'll be his battle
And I'll simply enjoy the
Spoils of his victory. You'll win this battle
Trust Him
Trust God
Trust in God is a decision
And yes it's difficult when you don't understand what's going on
And it's especially difficult when what's going on in your life just does not seem fair
But part of the thing that you have to realize is that what you don't understand now
Things that you're going through right now that you do not understand you cannot make any sense out of it all
later on
I promise you later on you will look back and say now I get it
Now I get it amen
And please believe me when I say that a lot of the things that you think are terrible
Actually in reality
Are good and the things that aren't good God can work for good
But now listen we're partners with God he doesn't just work everything out for good
We trust him and he works everything out for good
We trust God and he works everything out for good
But I want to tell you something no matter what condition your life is in right now
No matter how many pieces it's in with God's help you can rebuild
Through the strength of God you can rise up
You can run and not be weary. You can walk and you shall not faint
When everything else is crumbling around us in the darkest hour of your life
God will never fail you
God uses storms to teach us that we need him every day in every hour of our lives
God teaches us through those storms
That he is all-powerful that he is mighty and that he alone is control of planet Earth
The God we serve
Is the master of wind and waves
He is the chain breaker and he is the waymaker
He is the way, he is the truth, he is the life
It is his voice that penetrates the darkness. He is still the light of the world. He is the lord of glory
He is still the Lion of the tribe of Judah. He is still our companion in the valley of the shadow of death
He is our hope, he is our fortress, he is our high tower
He is the mighty God, the everlasting father and the Prince of Peace
He is the sea walker and the blind man healer. He is the champion of death hell and the grave
His name is Jesus the Son of the Living God
Heavens hope and Hell's dread. If you have fallen
Get up because Christ has conquered your storm
Start living again
Start loving again
Start believing again
Start achieving again
Listen to the voice of the master. Your storm is over
Stop allowing your past
to control your future. Don't be pushed by your problems
Be led by your dreams
God is your father
Nothing is impossible to you. Nothing is impossible to you
Nothing is impossible to you
when you believe that you'll never
be the same do not allow the storm of failure to force you to scale down your dreams
and minimize what you think you can do
We were made by the hand of God to soar like eagles
Don't allow the foolish opinions of other people to determine your future
You let God Almighty guide you through the storm you let him build the foundation of your life
You let him set you on fire
With a burning vision and a hope that will not go away. I assure you you will accomplish great things
with few assets because God's
Blessing is greater than all the approval the world will ever give you. Don't let anyone ever box you
in to their putrid dreams for your life
You live your life to the maximum every day the sun comes up
