JESUS
Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day, oh what a glorious Savior who has provided our salvation, calls us friends, sent us a helper, makes our crooked paths straight, gives us peace in the midst of the storms, and is coming back again, for us.
OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!

What a marvelous day it is; we woke up this morning clothed in our right mind and with the activity of our limbs. What a blessing has been bestowed upon us!

As I was doing my morning devotions, I came across this poem which blessed and encouraged my heart.

God is in every tomorrow,
Therefore I live for today,
Certain of finding the sunrise,
Guidance and strength for my way;
Power for each moment of weakness,
Hope for each moment of pain,
Comfort for every sorrow,
Sunshine and joy after rain.

God, in His infinite wisdom, gave mankind the ability of free will; we have the option of making our own decisions regardless to whether they are right or wrong. God knew that in allowing us to make our own decisions that we would ultimately make decisions that would prove to be detrimental, not only to us but others as well. And even though it would grieve Him, He didn’t want puppet-like people but a people who would want to do the right thing and then do it. Every parent knows that their children will falter at times and make mistakes—some out of disobedience and some just because that’s how life is—but they also know that those mistakes can prove to be the best teacher of life’s lessons.

It is because of God’s infinite wisdom that He made provision—before the foundation of the world—for everything we would ever need, not only in this life but in eternal life as well. Yes, He gave us free will and because He knew that we wouldn’t always make the right decisions He put a plan in place (Jesus’ death and resurrection) that would eradicate sin and made salvation available to all who would receive it. There comes a time when we have to stop blaming others for our failures/mistakes; we have to stop whining and complaining and having a pity party and take ownership of the matter and move on. Make no mistake, there will be times that we will falter and fail but it is those times/things that God can and will use as our steppingstone to bigger and better things. The decision is ours, we can stay where we’re at—Blame Boulevard, Complaint Circle, Failure Freeway, Past Pavilion, Pity Path, or Whining Way—or move on to that which God has destined for us; Heaven Bound Highway. With that being said, the assignment should we choose to accept it is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and receive Him for the pardon and remission of our sins and walk by faith knowing that if God be for us, He is more than the world against us.

Listen and take heed…
I call heaven and earth to witness against you that today I have set before you life or death, blessing or curse. Oh, that you would choose life; that you and your children might live! (Deuteronomy 30:19 — TLB)

We’ve all had our share of life’s ups and downs and since this life isn’t over we can be sure that there will be more; however, we must not allow the downs to outweigh the ups. It can be hard to be positive when it seems as though all hell has broken loose; but even in the midst of those hardships, it is imperative that we keep a positive attitude. There are times when even the positive looks negative but one thing we must always remember is that we have the ability, opportunity and authority to see the glass of life as half full and not half empty.

The Word of God of states, “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” We were created with the knowledge of right and wrong and the ability to decide the path that we would take and then live it to the best of our ability. Yes, life is full of twists and turns, highs and lows, joy and sadness, ups and downs, and narrow roads and crooked roads but, God has a plan already prepared for us and it’s up to us to say yes and accept the plan and then follow it. When we follow the plan God has for us, we are guaranteed that all things—good or bad—work for our good; that is to those that love God and are called according to His purpose. With that being said, it is important, that we acknowledge, comprehend and understand that we didn’t choose God, He chose us. Jesus died for us; He died so that we would have the opportunity to have an abundant life and spend eternity with Him, His Father and the Holy Spirit.

Take heed…
You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as presenting all that I Am], He may give it to you. (John 15:16 — AMPC)

The adversary of this world appears to be gaining the victory; his attacks have been turned up and everywhere we look we can see the sudden destruction, overwhelming devastation and luring distractions that are taking place, not only in the world, but in the believers’ life as well. However, we must not look on the things of this world but keep our minds, eyes and spirit fixated on the Word of God and His report. We must remain alert, awake, watchful and most importantly, faithful.

Though the storms keep on raging in our life, and sometimes it's hard to tell the night from day, we must be ever mindful that Jesus’ death on the Cross won us the surpassing victory over the adversary and his deeds. And it is because of that victory that we know He’ll lead us safely to that blessed place He has prepared for us. The adversary will always present one scheme or another to knock us off our perch of righteousness but we must be rock solid in our sanctified minds that if the storms don’t cease and even when the winds keep on blowing in our life, our soul must been anchored in the Lord. With that being said, now is not the time for us to be discouraged, become distracted, nor fearful of the sudden destructions our eyes see, but keep ourselves rooted and grounded in the Word of God knowing that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.

Take heed…
Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour. Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset—rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], knowing that the same (identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world. (1 Peter 5:8-9 — AMPC)
