Inspirational: Allow the Lord to give you Peace

Confidence in God's Grace and Care Ps 23: 2

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, He leadeth me beside still waters.

Few days ago, I flew to see my mother and the plane began to rumble and flipping side to side. Fear engulfed me but I quickly rebuked the devil that fear is the opposite of faith. I muttered "leave me alone!" Faith took over and thought of the Psalmist. In whatever situation you may find yourself today, allow the Lord to make you, to mould you (don't make yourself), if he makes you to lie down you are promised green pastures, you are guaranteed success, victory, breakthrough, peace etc. He knows where you should be. Let Him make you to lie down. Let Him lead you because His lead besides the still waters is perfect, neither late nor early but just on time. If you lead yourself you will make the situation worse, if He leads He will calm the vicious waters. Even if the issues, rumbles or flipping continue, you will not feel it, calm and peace will take over. He leads you to the waters of rest: not gently-flowing streams, but streams where you find rest and refreshment. Allow him to make you, to mould you. Allow the Lord to be your shepherd today.

"At the end of the day, it's all up to you, it could be argued"

At the end of the day, success or failure is up to you, it can be argued. You can encourage yourself by declaring and defining your day each morning. The potential to live your best life starts with each new morning. With every sunrise, you can choose to approach the day with an attitude of gratitude, faith and expectancy. When you get up in the morning, the first things you should do is set your mind in the right direction . . . and then go out anticipating good things.

Now a tool to accomplish your positive expectancy is to begin by prayer, meditation and defining how you want your day to be. You can actually make your own positive daily prescription to boost your best life now. One more thing, remember to take your prescription everyday or else your expectancies will not be fulfilled.

  

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
