67/365: Overcoming a Setback

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. ~ Proverbs 3:7-8

Keep your eyes on Christ. Stay humble. Stay healthy. If you have found yourself lost again, don't worry! You can get back on track.

Guard your spirit through daily prayer.
Sharpen your focus and mind through daily devotion.
Strengthen your body by serving others with your skills.

GO DEEPER: Galatians 5: 16-18

NEXT STEP: Are you listening to Christ's teaching? Are you absorbing God's direction?

Don't ever think that the sin of your past means there is no hope for your future.

I’m passing for you all. It sounds like this is a trouble spot for many. I find myself getting so wrapped up in what I’m doing sometimes I simply forget about God. Usually it’s not bad things. Chores at home, projects at work. I go from one thing to another not taking time to pray or recognize God. Sometimes I need to slow down a bit.

My goal throughout my journey has always been self-preservation, self-promoting, and self wants. God had been whispering to me the whole time.When life got so overwhelmingly loud, I had to listen. For what I knew, my intention was to get even. Satan was frustrating the zooland with contrite illusion...as he always does. Jesus called for me to follow. His strength pulled me into a different world, a world of truth. Feeding evil was not to be my fate. God saved me as I had no choice but surrender. God's love brought me some peace and promise to protect my soul so I could complete the course. I was not created to suffer, I was not to be defeated. A new birth commenced. Now I must do my part to learn and practice this love. Justice does prevail. The powers of good over evil is not even a contest. We are contestants. No impass, no concealment, walking through the narrow gate is a debt I can only try to repay by giving my life to God.

Living this right now. The strength and peace right now in the midst of what seems to be chaos and storm, is only by keeping my mind and heart focused on Christ. Great encouragement today .

I'm reminded that in order to have a setback one must have moved forward. Lord help me learn from the setback but in the same moment see the beauty In it. Far too often I miss the still small voice because I'm looking for the thunder. Father thank you for always making a way and always blessing your children, help us all Lord and may all we do bring you Glory!! Blessings Joseph

Love the timing of this! God is always right on time, and therefore, so are we. No matter the situation we find ourselves in, God has already created a path. This challenge to seek only Gods plan for me, is exactly the guidance I needed. So often I fail to realize when my motives are self seeking, wrapped in my weak understanding of scripture. So, I’ve failed to act on many things that I need to in order to progress my career, for fear that I will slip again into serving self rather than God. If I focus solely on the service of others, seek to help out of Love, my actions will be just. It will be God’s will. I can not go wrong with this. I can do this, I’ve been at this selfless service long enough now, I can recognize when it becomes self serving. I can do this, with Gods help, amen! 🙏🏻

This is such good timing, I have been struggling with an addiction and have not given in for the past week! Praise God for His strength. Please continue to pray for me and my struggle with this addiction. God is stronger and as the song says, the things I fear, fear God!

Patrick Morley says there are four voices in our head; the world, the flesh, the devil and the Holy Spirit. Lord, help me listen to your voice only. Amen 🙏

Gracious Heavenly Father please open the eyes, ears, hearts and minds of my brothers so that they each my clearly see what You are telling them in Your word, hear when You are speaking to them, a heart to receive and mind to process it. Amen. So manny times we let ourselves get so wrapped up in our troubles that we lose focus on God. Satan tries to cover our eyes and ears so that we can’t hear God speaking to us through His Word, what others are saying to us, or even what our own actions are telling us. At the first sign of trouble let’s start turning everything over to the Lord and let Him take care of them, but also remember to let go and not try to hold on to any part of it.

We can’t give up because God doesn’t walk up and slap us in the face to get our attention. We have to be consistent in our listening and doing God’s will and follow the path we are on. One day it will come to us and we’ll wonder why we made it so hard. Love you Jesus! 🤍❤️💜💙

My life use to be so loud I couldn't even hear myself think let alone hear Jesus. But I set out after my divorce on my own. I am living a life that all I can do is listen for the right direction. As long as I let Jesus as Carry Underwood would say "Jesus take the wheel". Patience and perseverance is what I need. Until I could quite my own mind I couldn't hear Jesus talk to me. keep on, keeping on!

The Word is our food as children of God. To grow we need nutrients from the food. Just cause we eat doesn’t mean we are getting the nutrients from it. This is where I struggle the most. I don’t learn very well by reading. I need to see it hear it ect. I could something 10 time and not comprehend it as well as if you showed it to me once. I still get up and read my devotional and my Bible but have to let God show me what it means. I feel this makes my journey slower. Maybe it makes it stronger I don’t know but I will continue to read, study and listen, our God will show us the way. He will lead us if we allow him to. Hope all you Brothers have a blessed day today

As men we all battle the same demons, many of our own making. I’m convinced I’ll die battling some of mine. Childhood wounds lead to a mode of operation, for self protection mostly, walls that keep God at a distance, other people as well, I’ve never been very successful at tearing them down for more than a few moments here and there. I know I am saved but all of it causes me to doubt that salvation at times. But I’m sure I’m unique in this way! Lol
