November 16 I choose to believe GodI must start by saying I am so grateful to the Lord for another day because to wake up each morning is truly a gift from God. I made a choice that I would praise and worship the Lord in-spite of myself, my feelings, my circumstances and anything that could sway me from it. I have heard a lot of teaching lately on our emotions and feelings. It is so very important that we as Christians do not allow them to control us or influence our decisions. If you are anything like me that is contrary to everything I was told most of my life. I can think of one that I am sure we have all lived by at one time or another, "Always follow your Heart". This can be the best advice and the worst I do believe. I don't know about you but for me it was the worst. The reason being, my heart was full of darkness, hate, unforgiveness, pride, selfishness, lies and I could name more. Looking back I can understand with a lot more clarity as to why my life was the disaster that it was. In Proverbs 23:7 it tells us that "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he". I was what my heart was. Thank God he has given us a new heart. I had many failed attempts at trying to change my life. I didn't understand why I always ended up falling back into that life that I desperately wanted free from. It was like I could never get completely free from that old me and all the guilt and shame. What the Lord has showed me is I had to choose to believe the word and all that it says that I am in Jesus, no matter what my feelings were. The Lord has revealed to me how I have to believe his word regardless of what my feelings or thoughts may be. So now I choose to start praising him when things look bad and thank him and worship him when the winds of the storm are blowing. I know for a fact that no matter what happens God is with me, He will never leave me
and I can't help but want to Bless the Lord, Oh my Soul and with all that is in me because of all his goodness and love. May God bless you with all his loving-kindness.
