Chasing any goal or dream that is outside of God’s will is futile. Chasing money is vanity. Chasing relationships that God isn’t in is vexation. Chasing one’s own self-willed wants is like chasing the wind. The only thing worth pursuing in this short fleeting life is the kingdom of God.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and everything else you need will be added unto you.
Today, I will do my duties to the best of my ability while drawing near to God with my heart. I patiently await my next path forward. I do not know what it is so rather than launch out into the deep alone, I wait for Jesus to give unction and order my steps. I will stand still until then.
Today I will draw near to God and focus on what He has already commanded me to do and is my reasonable service. I will take care of my body, mind and soul. I will love the household of faith and strangers I come in contact with. I will forgive and show mercy. I will be tender hearted with my wife and those I come in contact with. I will teach and support those who want to lose weight. I hear no other command in my heart at this moment so I’ll take rest until the command is given.
I see trouble on every hand but trying to fix it myself is futile. Trying to fix things myself is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Rather than focus on fear, I will focus on faith and on all the beautiful people and blessings in my life.
No, I shall do nothing else but the above and wait on Jesus.
When He says it’s time and shows up, good things will happen. On His time and not mine.
The feast is preparing and if I wait patiently, I will dine with Jesus at a table prepared in front of my enemies.
You can join me in faith if you’d like? There is no law against love, mercy, tender heartedness and faith. There is no law against waiting on Jesus’ favor to show up in your life.
