Don't Get Sidetracked



S.E.E.D. For Today_Sidetracked

 Scripture "Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil." Proverbs 4:27 NLT

 It is not only what we say that shows the state of the heart but what we follow, our feet have actions that reveal the condition of our souls. Forgetting the things behind us pressing forward to the prize of the calling of God we must keep our eyes fixed, our focus remain on point. Our earnest concern should be about the path we take. Be mindful that we are not to do what the wicked do nor follow the path of evildoers, don't even think about it, don't go that way. It's ok to be misjudged and misunderstood by spiritual and unspiritual people who are ignorant of the power of God and the value of His truth. Don't get sidetracked, look straight ahead and fix your eyes on what lies before you.

Example Cause someone to be distracted from an immediate or important issue. To divert or put off.

Exercise Read Proverbs 4th chapter We must be careful to remain on the path chosen for us not turning to the left or to the right. So many believers who have been sidetracked experience many troubles. It has opened a door of confusion, doubt, frustration, and restlessness. Many don't know which way to go. They have been distracted and diverted. But the Proverb says to mark out a straight path for your feet and stay on the safe path. What is the mark? It is the Kingdom of God, we are commanded to seek it. Who is the Path? It is Jesus, (Jesus is not only a person but He is a road) that is the path for our feet so follow Him.  Today think about where you got sidetracked and get back on track.

Devotion Lord I pray that I listen carefully to what you say, that I take hold of your instructions and never let them go. Your words bring life and healing to the whole body. Teach me your wisdom and lead me in straight paths. I admit that I need your help in everything that I do today in Jesus Name Amen.

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you

THE SAFE PLACE

S.E.E.D. For Today___ Safety Scripture "God is our safe place and our strength. He is always our help when we are in trouble." Psalms 46:1 New Life Version In light of all that is going on in our world God is the most dependable person we know. Murder, and violence plague our city's and nothing seems to be safe anymore. When everything seems to be falling apart God is our safety, our refuge from the storms of life. He doesn't protect us in order to pamper us, He shelter's us so He can strengthen us to go back to life with it's duties and dangers. Trouble describes people who are in tight places in a corner and unable to get out, but we are not to be afraid. The earth may change and things will be in utter chaos, but in the Lord we have safety. Though everything around us and in us seems to be restless, God is in control. God is our safe place, in His will, in His hands He got the whole world, He formed it, shaped it, created it, and man co

"Your Time Is Coming!"

"My Destiny and it's timing is in the hand of God." Psalms 16:5 Your way of life, your fortune, your fate, your portion comes from God. Knowing God is to know that He operates in rhythm, seasons, or times. Ecclesiastes 3 breaks down very intricately the seasons, or timing of a man's life or destiny. It tells us in vs.1 that, "Everything on earth has its own time and its own season" ( CEV ) or " Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses." ( GNT ) Being in sync rhythmically with God is so vital to the believer, operating in boundaries of our destiny or fortune, is the ability to flow in purpose. God has a purpose for each of us, you will find it to be your greatest joy as you discover the privilege of understanding the intention of God for your life. There are times as believers we find it difficult to accept what God has given us. There will be times when your ideas of what you want may get in the way of you and God
