Light For My Path

The word of the Lord is life,
The word of the Lord is refreshing; it brings gladness and calmness to the soul
It is POWER; it motivates and strengthens the body to keep going
The word of the Lord is true; it gives assurance and approves
The word of the Lord is deep; it reveals the hidden and brings understanding, yet simple
The word of the Lord is wisdom, it is alive, it is great and it is the secret behind the key to living.
Read the word, chew it, meditate on it and let it be food to your soul…it rejuvenates dead cells in the whole being (life, situations, mind, body, soul and spirit).
I pray that you will find it in your heart to read the Bible and spend time understanding the message of God that has been for many years ago.

Be Patient

"Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city." Proverbs 16:32

Many people interprete patience as stupidity. With God that is not the case. If you exercise patience on a matter, you are most definitely walking in God's wisdom and there is a reward for it. Do not allow your temper to overtake you, all our emotions are subject to our authority. You can control your temper if you purpose to do so in your heart and God will help you. You are not alone, we all feel temperamental at times but this feeling is not pleasing to God, we must let it die. If you do not learn to control your temper, it can lead to you living a life of regret. Ask God to help you, it is not too late. A lot of people think when the situation arises they will be able to control themselves but find themselves failing time and time again.

The root cause of your temper has to be dealt with. The only way this can be done is by asking God to reveal the root cause of the problem. It may be to do with your childhood and how you were raised or it could be some other reason why. The most important thing is that the problem must be dealt with and it must not be ignored as just a passing phase. You must ask God to help you at your point of weakness, He is ready and willing to deliver you from weaknesses that might hinder His blessings from coming into your life.

Remember, you are not alone, there are countless other people going through the same thing. Nobody is perfect.

What Are You Planning?

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3

It is very clear in the words of this verse that failure looms ahead if one does not commit one's plans to the Lord. The verse does not advise you to commit some things to the Lord, it advises you to commit whatever you do, which means everything you do must be committed to the Lord in order to assure the success of it. You might say, "well I've been planning things by myself for a while now and they have come out alright." That may seem okay to you but success does not come without commitment and planning. God's desire is that we should commit all our plans into HIs hands so that He will make them successful for us. If we purpose to commit our plans to the Lord all the time, we will be able to avoid all the pitfalls that lies in our way of success.

The choice is yours, God will not force you against your will. My advice to you is to heed His words, they will bring you success. Failure can easily be avoided if we heed to the counsel of the Lord. It would be wise to listen to the wisdom of your Maker, He is the only One who can see the pitfalls ahead and He alone knows the end from the beginning.

Building a tower of success might be an enormous task but if we follow the Architect's plan then our purpose will be accomplished. The road to success may not be easy but we will accomplish our purpose if we listen to God's counsel and carefully follow His plans. Don't wait till tomorrow, let Him help you today. Your success is just right round the corner.
