Trust your Daddy!

I had a job interview last week. It has been a while since I have been in the corporate world and yet I feel like daddy has his hand in all of it. I would usually look at this opportunity as just another job that I have to work to make a buck. Now I look at it as my daddy pursuing me. James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded." All I want to do is gods will in my life. I know that he has a path for me. I know that he is the ultimate provider, yet I still question him. As I do my devotion today, daddy is all over me. I say I want to change my mindset, yet I still keep doing the same things and falling into my habitual sin. Daddy said to me this morning, I have given you all you need to prepare you for the spiritual battle. Your weapons are in front of your face in my word (The Bible) yet you choose to ignore it and fight with the weapons of your world. 2 Cor 10:3-4 "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does, the weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds." NIV
Romans 12:2 "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." NIV
Do you truly trust your daddy or do you let the words just flow from your tongue with no meaning? Proverbs 18:21 NIV "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit."
I am guilty of saying things that I really do not mean. To truly trust in God is freedom! You have no worries, no quarrels, nothing to make you second guess that your daddy is going to come through.
Let the bible be your guide. Memorize his word and engrave it into your soul. Proverbs7:1,3 "Treasure my commands.........Write them on the tablet of your heart."

What goes in will eventually come out.

I started reading a new book today. 100 Bible Verses by Robert Morgan. The first chapter really hit home. It was based on Proverbs 23:7 "For as he thinks in his heart so is he"
Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results.
I look back on my life in the past and even now. I can be so negative in my thinking. This really weighed heavy on me. I have always thought I was a positive person but the lord spoke to me today. For as he thinks in his heart so is he. Damn, I am way off kilter. We as men are programmed by the world not to act sad, happy, or have any fear. So when we have these types of feelings, we cover it up with anger! I know that Anger and Rage have controlled my life. Just the other day, I woke up and I was angry for no apparent reason. I was short with my wife and kids and I did not understand why I was feeling the way I did. My wife sent me a text on the way to work saying "that she did not do anything to me and she did not deserve to be treated that way." She was absolutely correct. I had to ask for her forgiveness and admit that I was angry for no reason. It was not her fault. Most of the time it never is.
God says in his word in Proverbs 14:29 "Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly." It all starts with how we think. If we are thinking negative thoughts then negativity will engulf our world. If we are thinking positive thoughts, then positivity will engulf our world.
"A person's mind is like a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind." James Allen
What are you cultivating in your mind? Is it going to produce sweet fruit or useless wild weeds!
