What an amazing area of scripture to be led to today. As a contemplate my experience last night at a car dealership I realize how this fully comes into play. Trying to get a new vehicle for my wife. We have been praying for months and looking and looking. The market is a mess right now, however I have seen the Lord come through for us so many times in the past. We made a mistake years ago by in a vehicle without putting him first. I sat there and watched my wife sign papers as the Holy Spirit told me to stop her to tell her this was not what we were supposed to do. Yet we did it anyway. I dealt with conviction for some from that. but as we repented over it and learned to give every little decision to the Lord he has blessed us. last night I experienced the same thing only this time I was obedient We got up and left. Just wasn't feeling it. unfortunately my wife was very disappointed but willing to go along reluctantly with my decision. Please continue to pray that we will find the vehicle with the deal that God has for us. Thanks.

This is my favorite verse in the Bible, this is what What's God's will is.
When people nowadays say in certain circumstances "It is what it is"
well, this means it is God's will.
Everything happens for the greater good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.
For the greater good.
We may not understand, at the moment, but I believe and trust.
God bless ya'll.

Man what a powerful lesson this one was in my journey! How do I solve my problems? Well first, by not creating them. When I took an honest inventory of my relationship problems going into recovery, it became clear when my sponsor pointed out that in each of these relationships, I was trying to control things that are not mine to control. I was not trusting God to be who worked in others, I was trying to do it, which means I was playing God for them… The only problem that is mine to solve, is what habits and routines I have, my attitude, and how I respond to whatever happens around and to me. And I’ve learned, I cannot hope to successfully change any of that, other than asking without reservation for God to do it for me and through me. I alone, am nothing. God through me, can be anything and everything. Whatever God wills. I very much needed this today, and as always, all of you. God, help me to become less of me, and more like you today. Fill us with the Holy Spirit, may He rule over us as we seek out opportunities to be of service to Your children in building Your kingdom today, amen 🙏🏻

I am recovering from a stroke that happened a few weeks ago. I’m rearranging things in my life. I’m self employed and am transitioning businesses. I shut down my trucking business and am focusing on my luxury car service. Things aren’t going as I would like but putting this puzzle together is a challenge and I keep praying and asking GOD for HIS guidance and every time HE shows me how amazing results come if I trust HIM. HE is the puzzle master and HE will never lead you in the wrong direction. Just have to have patience and trust HIS process in your life.🙏🏾🙏🏾

I was working on my truck yesterday-everything was going bad. I took a couple minutes and stepped away,prayed to GOD for the ability to get the the job done and everything came together. I need to remember to say my prayers and ask for His guidance before I start Thank you JESUS !

When I read that part about take a breather ahead of the difficult task or project, I think take a moment to put on my accountability pants. Whatever it is that lay before me where is my part in the project and where can I be accountable with it. How do I take maximum ownership of my decisions and actions while also remember the only thing I can control is myself. Those two things work in tandem quite well. No more victim mentality. If I’m suffering over something it’s time to dive deep into that suffering and learn what my role is in that suffering. After all how can I set an example of a Christian if I run around blaming everyone else for my problems. You think that is going to attract new followers to God? I don’t. I must stay ultimately accountable in all areas to have real long term success. I must pray all the time that God assists me in taking inventory of each day what did well and what I didn’t do well then apply that the next day. Creating a day over day improvement feedback loop. It’s slight tiny improvement each day but when you add them up wow accountability looks great on me and it will for you too. Thank You God for teaching me to be this way and to fearlessly inventory myself with all the honesty I can muster. I love you God amen 🙏

As some of you may have realized by now one of my favorite scriptures is Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. I have always found that when I rejoice in the Lord that I do not have time to take over the proverbial reigns from the Lord and try to do things the way I want to do them but instead I leave them in His hands to do the steering and everything goes much smoother. It just like right now with all the turbulent times that have been going on in my life I am praising and rejoicing in the Lord and seeking out even the smallest things to praise the Lord for. As I do I find that I can ride out the turbulence so much easier. There used to be a saying in Christian circles “God is my co-pilot” though I never really liked that saying as I saw it as “GOD IS MY PILOT” not wanting to put Him in the second seat ever but always keeping Him in His rightful position at the helm with me taking second position.
286/365: Solving Your Problems
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. ~ Romans 8:28
Facing a difficult task? Looking for an answer to your situation? Take a breather. Often, we guys want to jump ahead of God and begin "fixing" things when it isn't our job or the right time.
Remember, God is the puzzlemaster and He will assemble the pieces of your situation.
What you can't control is other people and circumstances. What you can control is your responses and your emotions.
GO DEEPER: 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-24
Next Step: Today, focus on being the best you can be - love God first and He will call upon your talents to complete His work in you, around you, and through you.
