Above and Before…

Posted on by admin

Proverbs 4:7 “Above all and before all, do this: Get Wisdom!”

The journey of life can become busy and overwhelming at times. People rush everywhere trying to do everything they possibly can. Often rapid-fire decisions are made with little forethought. These often prove to be big mistakes that carry a great cost.

In life we need to slow down! Our verse lets us know that God’s way to a successful life is to get His Wisdom above and before everything. This means that God’s Wisdom must come before our plans, desires and schedules and must be placed above our emotions, circumstances and feelings.

Whenever we disregard Wisdom we are heading towards disaster without knowing it.

We can never rush Wisdom; it takes time and energy to gain it. Our bible is chocked full of Wisdom for us to live by. It is there so we can successfully navigate every part of life. The key to getting Wisdom is to slow down and take our time to read, ponder and apply God’s Word to our lives before we do something, not after.

Whenever we prioritize God’s Word in our life we are prioritizing Wisdom in our lives.

This week put God’s Wisdom above and before our personal wisdom. Let’s SLOW DOWN and allow Wisdom to seep into the very depths of our hearts. Allow Wisdom to become the foundation of every decision made. Before long our lives will be flourishing and we will be a people of Wisdom.

The Road Ahead…

Exodus 15:18 “The Lord reigns for ever and ever”

Have you ever driven a road that looks like it lasts forever? Each time you turn a curve you discover that the road continues on, disappearing into the distance.

Our verse says that God’s reign, that is his control & influence, are just like a never-ending road. His reign goes beyond what we presently see or experience, all the way into the future. It runs right through eternity.

In our Christian life there are certain truths that we must settle. God’s reign over our life journey is one of them. It doesn’t matter what curves and turns we meet in life God must be allowed to lead and steer us on a course of safety.

Daily the enemy takes every opportunity to push and batter us. Nonetheless God’s reign, that is his control & influence, allows us to survive and navigates even the greatest attacks. God will lead us beyond what’s happening today towards a powerful and dynamic future.

This week, why not make an unwavering commitment to accept God’s reign afresh in your life. His plans and purpose for you are full of future and hope. God will securely take you forward on life’s path if you allow him. You will go beyond your current circumstance and, before you know it, you’ll be racing along life’s road again filled with faith and hope.

It’s the Highway…

Joshua 1: 6 “Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take.” [MSG]

I love driving between cities on modern highways. They are so much faster and more efficient than driving on old low roads that were built for a horse and cart.

During life’s journey we are continually offered opportunities to take the low road of being timid, fearful and discouraged. God wants us to know that there is a super highway available to us. It is a highway of strength and courage. A highway that will deliver us to our destination faster, efficiently and right on time!

Remember, like Joshua, we must learn to fight fear, discouragement and weakness when they attack us. God told Joshua many times over to be strong and courageous as he faced fear, weakness and discouragement. He is the same God now!

So today… “BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE.” The future that God has planned for you is full of promise and beauty.  Choose to walk along the highway of strength and courage that He has provided. God is on this road with you every step of the way – SO LET’S GO!

Don’t Miss Your Reward…

Philippians 3:15-16 “So let’s keep FOCUSED on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—YOU’LL SEE IT yet! Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it.” [MSG]

Today, more than ever, if we want to live in everything God has for us… we need to stay FOCUSED on the goal. The goal is the target of our high call, our purpose in Jesus Christ. This goal includes everything God has planned for us. When we are totally committed to focusing on the goal… we will SEE IT. If life seems a little blurry or misted over, when we choose to focus on heavens goal, this verse let’s us know that clarity will come. YOU WILL SEE IT!!!

Guard your mind closely and don’t let misled people build doubt in your house.
Don’t let those who have blurred vision, distract you from your goal… especially those who are on the wrong track. Instead be FOCUSED and pursue the vision God has put in your heart.

So don’t forget this week, set your focus on God’s goal for your life, stay FOCUSED and once you’re on the right track don’t change it for any reason… you will move towards your reward and receive everything God has planned for you!

Set your focus today!
