It matters… Do Everything you do to bring a smile to His face, for His glory. Then you have a story of grace.
13 days into the New Year. Do you feel new yet, have things changed, or are you still stuck in your old self the way Mat. 9:16-17 describes? God wants you to change, even if things don’t. You could have a new
year, new day, new calendar for 2012. What does it matter, if you still
have the old mind set, and attitude. Consider yourself stuck in 2011.
We are at January 13th
already, and I am still reminded every day, I have to surrender
everything to God, EVERYTHING, to keep my peace, and joy. This has been
my mind set for the New Year, that I try very hard to keep.
I
can step into the door of my work office, and some days I will lose it
as soon as I look at work that should have been shared by a co-worker.
When God says to surrender, He means surrender everything. Even those attitudes
of the flesh, “I don’t get paid for that,…well they didn’t, so I’m
not.” If you have a job, consider yourself blessed, and work in thanks.
Don’t worry about what someone else does, or doesn’t do. Remember God
sees everything you do. Keep doing it for the glory of Him, and who you
are in Him. Don’t stoop to a lower level, because you will feel as low
as you stoop. Stay on higher Ground with your God. Let Him lead your
attitude there too.
A friend of
mine came in the office this morning to visit just at the right time. I
was frustrated, and explained to her why. She just said, a few small
words ( “two wrongs, don’t make a right” ) that put me right back on
track. Not to mention, the perfect song was playing, that I have above
for you to hear. God puts things in such perfect order. He certainly
brought me right back to where he wants me to stay. I have tried to have
a better mind set everyday on things, as Ephesians 6: 11 says, Satan loves to
get in the mix and make your day miserable.
God wants you to stay focused on Him. He has the power to do anything, even, "Take up the stumbling block[s] out of the way..." (Isaiah 57:14.) You may trip up at times, but you will get back up again. I know if I continue to look at what someone else does, thinking, “Doesn't anyone see what’s going
on?” That all doesn't matter. I will not have the joy God wants to give me for each day. I want God’s attention, no one else’s, and I know I
have His, and He WILL take care of things. Even if it’s just making me a
better child of His.
We will face two enemies every day, our carnal nature, and the devil. So as 1 Corinthians 15: 31 says, “die everyday.”
"So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God." (Romans 8:8.)
P.S. . . I thank God for the people He puts in my day at the perfect time when I can’t see straight. Thank you, my friends.
Keep you peace for the whole year. Renew your Mind !!!
