cropped-title-logoSpeak to your day

I am thankful that I am in Christ Jesus and that He represented God to us in physical form and became for us wisdom, right standing, pure, holy and free. This is truly a gift from God.

I am wise.
The wisdom I have is direct from my Father thru His son Jesus Christ and He displayed and showed me wise living, wisdom, discretion and understanding. I am wise not from my doing, but from Christ and my Father. Jesus is my example and teacher and He became to me wisdom from God. I will emulate that wisdom, soundness, discretion and understanding in phenomenal ways today.

I possess right standing with God thru Jesus Christ. I am righteous. Not from anything I did or accomplished, but solely thru the work and gift of Jesus from my Father. The grounds and claims I make are all backed up and provided for thru Christ.

I have holiness and purity from Jesus as well. All my boasting and bragging is not from my merits or my abilities or anything I could try and do, but from my Savior who became this for me. I declare today that I am pure and holy in Christ Jesus. I am not tainted, dirty or polluted.

I also walk in freedom and redemption because of what Jesus became for me from God. I am free from the past. Today I walk in freedom. I am not bound or chained to my past. The chains are broken and I have been set free. SET FREE. I walk in the liberty that is from Jesus.

I speak to my day and declare that because of Jesus and from God:

I am free.
I am whole.
I am pure.
I am holy.
I am sanctified.
I am righteous.
I am liberated.
I am redeemed.
I am wise.

I boast in this because of God and Jesus Christ, it is nothing I did….I just get to enjoy it and steward it.

1 Corinthians 1:30 (New American Standard Bible)
But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

When the road turns….

I read a tweet from @realDonaldTrump this morning…

“The bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you refuse to take the turn” Anonymous

This got me thinking.

In life we make plans, set goals, dream big – but what happens when life changes? The scenery changes, the neighborhood changes, our family changes, our finances change, my relationships change, my surroundings change, my health changes, my job changes.

Change, change, change.

It is how I deal with change that determines the results of change.

I have seen people that have refused to accept change and the result is that life passed them on and they became a casualty of the ‘bend’ in the road that became the ‘end’ of the road.

I have also seen people that accept and embrace change and the result is that they are continuing down the road. The windows are open, they are experiencing the ‘wind’ of life, the freshness of the air, the warm of the sunshine and the new scenery.

Determine to look at life as a CONSTANT change. I challenge you to EMBRACE the changes in your children, the movement of life, and the newness of each day. Some changes happen naturally, some changes happen internally, and some changes happen externally. Don’t build a permanent fixture in a temporary location, but rather build a permanent memory in a temporary location.

Every day brings new change and new challenges, but remember that His mercies are NEW every morning (they change too!), and that He places where He can move you to NEW things.

While driving down the road of life do not let the ‘bend’ become the ‘end’.

What are some things you have learned in dealing with the bending road? I would love to hear them.

GOD is GOOD

I have been doing alot of thinking and meditating on the goodness of God lately.

God is good.

He is not a cosmic kiljoy with a club that will hit us every time we get our heads above water.

He is not a mean master who will always try to keep you miserable.

He is not a Father who does not know what you need.

He is not a boss who is unreasonable.

He does not operate according to ‘Murphy’s Law’

He is good. 

He wants you to multiply

He wants you to rule

He has given you the power to get wealth

He wants you to bear fruit

He wants you to bear much fruit

He wants you to bear much fruit

He wants you to be fruitful, full of fruit

He wants you to have life

He wants you to have life overflowing

He wants you to abound in every good thing

He wants to show how much more He is better than we realize

He wants to exceed your thoughts

He wants to go beyond your imagination

God is good

God is good. The above list comes directly from His Word. He constantly is reinforcing the thought and condition in my mind that He is good and He wants the best for me.

Do not foster a mindset that portrays your God as a miser. Do not allow the thoughts to stay in your mind that He is out to get you. Do not allow the notion that He is just waiting for you to mess up to linger any longer. Evict from your being the idea that somehow this is too good to be true.

God is good.

Plain and simple, He is good.

Think on that.

David
