Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

Romans 6:12-14 (MSG)
...you must not give sin a vote in the way you conduct your lives. Don’t give it the time of day…Throw yourselves wholeheartedly and full-time—into God’s way of doing things.

You do have a choice today.
You do!
You do!
All day long you will be faced with decision after decision, choice after choice and GOD has offered a simple solution to the decision dilemma.
Do things MY way; listen to the Holy Spirit.
This isn’t new advice; isn’t new counsel. But sometimes we try to "over-complicate" the simple don’t we.
Charles Stanley has built a ministry around this simple truth.
“Obey GOD and leave all the consequences to Him”.

Yesterday Pastor Mark shared the importance of not allowing our sinful nature to continue to dictate our decision-making. If left unchecked, our flesh will lead us to sin and that only leads to “less than favorable” consequences. I know this all too well.
Galatians 6:7-8
… For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Galatians 6:7-8
… For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
GOD gave us free will and GOD loves us enough to let us choose.
It is up to us to make wise choices. It is up to us to allow GOD’S Spirit within us and not our flesh to dictate our paths and to offer guidance for our choices!
Romans 8:13
For if your life is just about satisfying the impulses of your sinful nature, then prepare to die. But if you have invited the Spirit to destroy these selfish desires, you will experience life.

As you prepare for your day today make a good first choice.
I am going to do my best to make it!
Choose to listen and be led by the Holy Spirit. When faced with the challenges and decisions of the day let the Spirit dictate your response. Sin will be lurking and tempting you all day long. It never lets up.

But don’t allow it to run the show today. Don’t give it a vote as Paul recommends. You belong to Christ.
Galatians 5:24-25 (ESV)
24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

The choice is yours.
HAVE a “Spirit-led” DAY!
I love you all!
