Today's Devotion:
"DETERMINE TO PLAN AND PERFORM"
Two high school students were
discussing the meaning of
irritation, aggravation, and
frustration.
One of them said, "I just don't
seem to get the difference."
The other picked up a phone and
called a number at random.
When the person answered, he
asked, "Is ALfred there?"
The person said, "No Alfred here,
you have the wrong number!" and
hung up.
The 2nd boy looked at the first and
said, "Now that's irritation."
Then, he dialed the number again,
and asked, "Is ALfred there?"
The person answered in an angry
tone, "NO! and if you call back I
will report you to the police!"
He looked at his friend and said,
"THAT'S aggravation!"
The other boy asked, "OK. So what
is frustration?
The 2nd boy picked up the phone,
dialed the same number and said,
"This is Alfred, Have I had any calls?"
_______SCRIPTURE_______
Ppns 2:13
For it is God that worketh IN you
both to WILL and to DO of His
good pleasure.
KJV
_______THOUGHT_________
A born again Christian has
RECEIVED the Holy Spirit of God!
And, His Spirit works IN the
Christian, pointing him/her toward
doing things that PLEASE God!
Let me focus for a moment on the
two words "WILL" and "DO."
That literally means to desire and
determine to perform.
Desire and determine to perform
what?
Those things that PLEASE God!
Colossians 3:23 says, "And
whatsoever ye do, do it heartily,
as to the Lord, and not unto men."
Think of life as a circle, and the
CENTER of that circle is JESUS.
Now, in a circle, every point on the
circumference is equidistant to
the center.
So, let your circle REVOLVE
around PLEASING Jesus.
BE an "ambassador for
Christ" in your home, your
work, your community, and
ANYWHERE you go!
Yes, there will be irritation,
aggravation, and even
frustration in your life.
Just set your heart to:
DESIRE and to PERFORM
that which pleases God!
Love ya!
