Resolve to be in the Word of God this year-not living according to a “word”
It’s an assumption that that “word” is what one needs, in hopes that everything in one’s life begins to “align” leading to a “better self”
Read that again…don’t you hear the resounding new age jargon woven throughout the fabric of that statement?
Often times we partake in things simply because others do…not stopping for a second to test the spirit or seek out if there is any deception in what we are partaking in.
I have been privy to my own lack of judgement in assuming that someone is a true Believer, because they have the “appearance of godliness”. Or that someone distanced themselves because of offense... Or that God must have “forgotten me” because of a particularly difficult situation that I am walking through…
But here is the truth:
-That person who “appeared godly” was simply an example of 2 Timothy 3:5 “Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” Turns out as I got to know that person, I realized they didn’t even know WHO God was.
My judgement was off.
-That person who distanced themselves? They’re weren’t in offense, they were just busy.
My judgement was off.
-That difficult situation He allowed in my life? He did not forget me. He drew nearer to me than ever before...
My judgement was off.
All of this to say…if I am capable of having “off judgement” in my assessment of situations…who am I to assess my life and define the trajectory of it by what I think I need? The “word” I choose could be so far from the heart of God and what He wants for me…
The only “word” I want to define me this year, is the Word of God. I want what He wants. Less of me, MORE of Him.
This goes for vision boards too…don’t get me started on Christian’s and “vision boards…”🙃
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
1 Corinthians 3: 18-19
