Dear loved one,
God created us with emotions, meant for our good but which must be controlled. These days there is a mindset that affirms "if it feels right then it must be right and good to go".
The way we feel can never change eternal truths. Many have wrecked
their lives, others to rash emotional decision and bankruptcy;
falsifications of figures in the business sphere in the name of sharp
practices are known to have destroyed careers and businesses.
In
everything we do as humans, we will constantly be faced with decision
making out of our informed choices. We are faced with the battle of the
mind and we need to consistently draw wisdom from the Word of God rather
than our emotions which may deceive us in the long run. A man who can
rule his emotions is already piloting on the pathway of successful
living. King Solomon was obsessed with women and was seduced into
myriads of problems because he lost his focus and his heart was drawn
away after strange gods"
"So
here's what I want you to do this week, God helping you: Take your
everyday, ordinary life - your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and
walking-around life and place it before God as an offering. Embracing
what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become
so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even
thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the
inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly
respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down
to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops
well-formed character in you"
Have a great week!
Shalom!
