Go Out of Your Way!
Today, I challenge you:
  Go out of your way for somebody! No, it might not be comfortable, but push yourself outta the box!
  Follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit…follow where God leads you!
How’s Your Heart?
Proverbs 16:9 says, “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.”
How ’bout you….how’s YOUR heart?
Like Cindy Hess Kasper has written in the devotional Our Daily Bread, “Our view of life is restricted by our humanness, but we can trust ourselves to the One who has an unlimited view!”

How’s Your Mind?
I urge you to encourage your friend who’s having a tough time with the hard-hits of life right now…to put this verb, TRUST, into practice.
Put it into “living-color” and CHOOSE to TRUST GOD ALMIGHTY in spite of what your feelings are screaming out at you! He is Faithfaul.
Isaiah wrote: You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal - (Is. 26:3,4 NIV).Â
God’s Grace Holds Your History
My Study Bible says that the prophet Isaiah was probably reared in an aristocratic home and was married to a prophetess.
Were you familiar with this?
How about you…have you committed your history into the hands of The Father for Him to use for His glory, as He chooses?
Are You Free?
Hmmm…independence: being independent; free from the influence or control of.
So, how about you…what areas of your life need to experience independence? What influence or control in your life is actually destroying your life?
Happy Independence Day! :)
HAPPY Fourth of July!!!…it’s the Anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence - July 4, 1776.
 Happy Independence Day!
