If God said it, that settles it. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “settle” as “to fix or resolve conclusively; to establish or secure permanently; to sink gradually or to the bottom; to come to rest." ⁣⁣

This offers us a colorful description of how we should receive any direction or leading from the Holy Spirit and every word that God has spoken to us through His Word [the Bible]. If He says that you are the righteousness of God, redeemed and set free, then that’s settles it. That IS who you are…period! If He says that He’s given you the victory and that you have favor with Him and man, then it’s settled, you do. ⁣

Walk in obedience and trust His direction every step of the way. It’s past time that we let it “sink in” and “go to the bottom” of our hearts and minds: IT’S SETTLED. 🗣 “I don’t need a Plan B, I can depend on God.” He is faithful, and His promises are sure (2 Corinthians 1:20). #ItsSettled #TrustGod AND #Rest⁣⁣⁣

Oftentimes, the path that we are on in life has already been “straightened” for us without us even being aware - So when you reflect on all that He’s blessed you with today, don’t forget about the things He’s removed from your path without you even being aware. You are loved and precious in His sight, and the location of both your steps and heart is important to Him. Trust in Him and rest (Proverbs 3:5-6)!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

He’ll cut down a mountain, smooth out rough ground or even send people on our behalf to get us through, and the world will have to sit back and take notice at the way He does it. He will always get the glory. We have access to the Holy Spirit, and He’s our Guide. He desires to order your steps and direct your life (Psalm 37:23), so let Him! ⁣⁣⁣That’s the kind of good Father we serve. ⁣⁣⁣⁣

You know, one thing we have to be excited about everyday is our dual citizenship!! 😌 As believers, we have citizenship is in Heaven and as we faithfully serve Jesus here on earth, we build up our heavenly bank account. Keep in mind that God can and will give you divine insight and guidance on how to accomplish a task more efficiently and effectively. He will give you the right words to say (Proverbs 25:11) for any given situation AND give you favor when and where you need it. So, don’t lose sight of Who you represent. He’s got your back, but it brings Him great joy when you represent Him accurately and allow Him to lead you. #MakeHimProud⁣⁣⁣

#WeekendReminder Our God is a “finisher”. He completes every task that His hand is upon. He didn’t start calling creation - as we know it - into existence and then give up because He was tired or no longer inspired. Be encouraged that in a similar fashion, the work that God has begun IN you, whether it’s your purpose, a vision that God has given you or even Him helping you to make improvements in your life (Psalm 138:8), He will complete it. ⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣

🙌 He has not and will not give up on you. You can do all things with the help of the Lord (Philippians 4:13) and can complete any task today in Jesus’ name (2 Timothy 1:7). ⁣⁣⁣

Nehemiah and his men were busy at work rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem to protect it against their enemies. In the process, regular troublemakers Sanballat, Tobiah and their gang showed up trying to distract them from their assignment. Oftentimes, it’s this way in our daily lives. God may reveal your purpose to you and even give you instructions to fulfill the vision that He’s assigned you to be busy on [whether it appears to be on a large or small scale]. ⁣⁣⁣

However, oftentimes you may find that the enemy will try to send distractions your way to get you off course or to cause you to abandon the vision all together. Don’t quit or lose focus though; the Greater One lives inside of you. Commit today to have razor focus on what God has assigned to you. Take on the same attitude that Nehemiah and his men had: “why should the work stop while I leave to come down to meet you?” Don’t come down to the enemies level or allow him to waste your time or energy. The work that God has called you to is much too important. Stay focused on what He has called you to and keep your spirit man built up throughout the day. You’ve got this with His help!⁣⁣

As believers, our joy should stem from the heart of thanksgiving that we have as the result of what our Father God and His Son Jesus has done for us! He loved us and counted us valuable enough to transfer us from the kingdom of darkness (where we belonged because of our sin nature) and into His kingdom. We're no longer in bondage to sin or fear, but we've made privy to the benefits of the inhabitants of God’s Kingdom including true joy and supernatural peace. ⁣⁣⁣⁣

 So SMILE…you’re the responsibility of the King of King and Lord of Lords! Your Heavenly Father. Place and leave your life and plans in the capable hands of your Heavenly Father. He won't lead you astray!⁣

You have nothing to fear: greater is He that is WITHIN us then He that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Don’t let doubt have your heart or the enemy have your ears because we serve a God Who never fails and Who can’t lie (Numbers 23:19), so don’t you dare listen to the enemy’s [lies]. We have the victory IN Christ. ⁣⁣⁣

You are anointed, called & set apart for the special use of your Creator! There’s no good deed or task that we have done to qualify for us.

Stay connected to the Power Source, so that you are better qualified to be Christ’s ambassadors and to walk victoriously. You are anointed to complete every task before you today. Don’t forget you’re MORE than a conqueror (Romans 8:37)!⁣⁣

Stay the course and allow God to develop your character and mature you. He is perfecting those things that concern you (Psalm 138:8), so don’t become overwhelmed trying to do it all in one day or do it all by yourself. Ultimately, you will find joy, hope and comfort as a result of the character that only your Heavenly Father can develop in you. So throughout the process, be patient and appreciate that it is a by-product of God’s love for you. #YouAreLoved

🙌 Our Heavenly Father desires to be near us at all times. He wants to be “in our midst” and to work in and through us daily (John 14:12, Ephesians 2:10, Philippians 2:13). We only have to call His name and come to Him with a pure and humble heart. Regardless of where the paths of your feet tread today, commit your life to God and yield to Him for wisdom in your decision-making. When you do, you set the scene for Him to act on your behalf (Psalm 37:5, Proverbs 3:5-6). Trust in Him. He is ALL that you need. Have a blessed weekend.⁣⁣⁣⁣

🙌🏼 We were created by God for His glory, and yet in still, He loved us so much that He gave His all for us (John 3:16)! So, it’s only reasonable for us to love Him with everything that is in us. ⁣

When we place and keep God at the throne of our hearts, we position ourselves for Him to move on our behalf, to direct the affairs of our lives, to give us wisdom, strength, favor and His peace. We honor Him and give Him glory by acknowledging Him in all of our ways every day of our lives. So, don’t let today be any different. Love Him and give Him the honor He is due. He loves you unconditionally, and He is worthy of ALL of your praise!⁣

When we accept God’s gift of salvation to us and fully surrender our lives to Him and the leadership of the Holy Spirit, we position God to be able to lead our steps and direct our lives. We are His responsibility, and there is no detail too small or insignificant to Him.⁣⁣⁣ He desires to set you apart for His use. So, don’t waste any more time worrying about the affairs of your life. God’s got you, and He’s sent the Holy Spirit - your Helper (John 14:26) - to help guide you every step of the way. Rest in Him and in His love for you. Commit to take the time to listen to your spirit man and trust His guidance throughout the day.⁣⁣

The Word of God always encourages us to trust God and not to lean to our own understanding, regardless of how knowledgeable we may think we are in the process of our decision-making (Proverbs 3:5-6). God desires to give us “skillful and godly wisdom” - insight that we may not have been privy to otherwise. So, stay connected into your Spiritual Headquarters by praying in the Spirit. It’s your Father’s desire to give you direction and guidance for your life as you seek His will for your life. God’s got your back. Put your confidence in Him. #selah #devotional #WednesdayWisdom

There’s a reason that God tells us to meditate on—to center our minds on—things that are pure, wholesome, confirmed by His Word and honorable; He cares about what is on our hearts and our minds even when others are not aware (1 Samuel 16:7).

So, if you’re struggling with anger, impure thoughts, doubt or even trusting God and building your faith, take a look at what you’ve allowed your mind to focus on. Even strengthening our relationship with God - just like any other relationship - demands devoting time to it and studying His Word. Think on those things that honor God and ask for His help to stay focus on those things. He is not only willing, but He desires to help you (Psalm 46:1). ⁣⁣
