|Walk the Talk|

1 Kings 2 ^3-4  Do what God tells you. Walk in the paths he shows you: Follow the life-map absolutely, keep an eye out for the signposts, his course for life set out in the revelation to Moses; then you’ll get on well in whatever you do and wherever you go. 

Humans tend to plan out their lives – the present and the future. They seek unknown things, tries different courses out of curiosity, hurting themselves at the end. No matter what we plan out, without seeking what GOD wants, we’ll fail.

David, a man after GOD’s heart, reminded the world’s wisest king ever in the world, Solomon, the foundations of being successful – to walk in the blueprint that GOD had prepared, follow what it says, being vigilant for the warning signs and fixing everything in Him.

Just as the first Sunday of the year, Pastor Mike shared about having a blueprint to execute our dreams, our plans, making GOD the master author of our lives. We may plan all our lives but without seeking the approval, the will of the LORD, all our plans is useless.

When you had chosen to be strong, you are saying yes to what GOD has for you, may it be as easy as breathing or as hard as walking in waters, as well as the yes, the no and the wait responses. My motives and intentions matter to GOD as well as my commitment in Him. Therefore, loving Him and obeying Him are synonymous. I may love him but not follow Him or I may follow Him but not love Him.

The future may bring loses, heartaches, battles, and hardships but surely it will birth gains, joys, victories and triumphs. Whatever happens, following GOD will surely be worth it.

Father, thank You for not giving up on me and for loving me unconditionally and faithfully. Remind me of who I am always – in wherever I am, in whatever I do – I am Yours. Create in me a pure heart that seeks to know You more in all the days of my life, a heart that seeks Your will instead of what I want and a heart that follows what You want me to do despite my inabilities, my humanity, my wretched human heart. Thank You, Lord. In You, all things are new always.
