Audits

12/30/2012 17:36

Everyday when you rise there are choices to be made throughout the day, what to wear, what to eat for breakfast, where to go, who to talk with.  I pose the questions, What are you interested in? What are your likes and dislikes? How do you spend your time?  Choices play an important role in our lives which determine where we live, where we work, where we worship.  The ultimate choice is to follow Christ and be obedient to His will and His ways is the most crucial choice one will ever have to make in life.  You see, we can have unlimited access with VIP seating when we are mindful of our position.  You have to change your priorities, your way of thinking, speaking and the way you do things.  The word of God will cause you to shift everything in and around you to be what He has called you to be and the purpose for your life.  When you have a desire to increase, you always have a bible with you at all times, CD's in the car, something educational in your desk at work for your lunch times, literature on your nightstand, in your bathroom.  Once you read a few minutes here and there those minutes add up, and there goes your increase! Christian music adds to your knowledge.  As you begin to sing, praise, worship then your mind is expanded.  There will be mountains that contain challenges that we need to climb. The view form the bottom of that mountain and the view from the top of that mountain are different.  Speak to those mountains, and take each challenge with the word of God, His word is your greatest weapon and with a heart of trust and a mind of victory in advance, you can make it.  During those challenges you can still have joy, peace is a necessary ingredient in pushing through what you have to.  Peace always follows joy! Make a choice to meditate more, spend time in devotion, study the word, fast and pray, surrender, commit to being more obedient and love more.  Instead of making a new years resolution, make life resolutions to audit your priorities, relationships, commitments, responsibilities, opportunities, your own motives, compromises, decisions.....

Until we chat again,

Happy New Year Ree
