BE CAREFUL LITTLE FEET WHERE YOU GO

Surround yourself with people who complain and guess what you will be doing before you know it? Hang out with friends who have no real spiritual desire to draw closer to God and before you know it, their morals and values will corrupt you and lead you away from your walk with Christ; and when that happens, you will at some point find yourself crying out to the Lord, “Lord why am I feeling this way? Where did You go?” When all the time it was you that turned away in the relationship; not God.

You see the Lord gives us specific guidelines to keep us on the path that He walks on. When we veer off that path, we limit ourselves to His fellowship, His power and His direction at that point in our lives. His Word plainly tells us that “Bad morals corrupt good values”, so if you, knowing this truth, still choose to befriend folk whose spiritual insights are no deeper than your own, how far down that path will you go before you realize that you made the mistake. And at what cost will you have to pay when it is all said and done.

It would be impossible to count the number of books on the market today telling people how to be happy. God’s Word, which is the greatest book ever written tells people how to be happy. But understand this; God is not committed to anything other than His total will for your life….and only in doing things God’s way can you have the happiness that you are seeking. Don’t think that you can just come to Him and say, “Here is my idea; please put your stamp of approval on it.” He only works His plan for us….because He knows what is best. When we pray for something in accordance to His will for us, then He blesses it and allows us to have it. Your prayers must be that of, “Lord, show me Your plans”!

As a Christian you can not compartmentalize your life and say, “in this area I am going to do things God’s way; and in this area I am going to do things my way”, it’s like mixing water and oil…it may appear to mix at first but then you realize… that it did not mix but only clouded up the situation to where you could no longer see clearly about it.

Many times what we hear in our spirits is not what we hear in our ears or minds. What we must focus on is keeping sink with God’s will and purpose for our lives. Step by step and once we realize that, nothing will be more important to us than to keeping that pace with him, for His direction is always right, His timing is always perfect, and His results are always best.

You may ask, “How can I live like that?” First by understanding that God works through you as you engage Him on a daily basis what He puts in your heart to do moment by moment and do not turn any direction other than the one He leads you in. Then know that He never stops calling you to take one more step, do that one more thing in faith…that is what is called “Walking with God”.

Life is your classroom of learning. Every problem, every trial a teacher. You will know how far you have come by your reactions to the situations that are placed before you on a daily basis. The scripture tells us to”…walk worthy of the calling with which you were called.” Ephesians 4:1. Surround yourself with those that are seeking higher spiritual ground…Proverbs 13:20 tells us to “Become wise by walking with the wise”. Not only do the lost need the Lord….we that are saved need Him every day to keep us on the right path and relationship with Him! Be careful little feet where you go-

I love you and pray God’s power be released in you as you make that right choice!
