Consumed

​Love you all, praying for you,
 
I just love God’s Word.  It gives reminders, and solutions.   What has been consuming your mind the last few days?  Is it a need? A lack?  Something you’re hoping for? A Worry? A Fear?  Are you nervous? are you fretting? It only leads to evil?  What are your thoughts coming back to?  You will keep him in perfect peace (complete peace) whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.  You will keep her in complete peace whose mind is stayed on you, because she trusts in you.  The devil wants to steal your joy, so he tries to steal your peace, and he does it by trying to steal your righteousness – that’s how he steal your peace, and your joy with it.  If you’re obsessing over something, that’s neither righteousness, peace or joy.  If you’re in a mental toilet bowl, stuck on rewind.  Let the Kingdom of God – move you forward.  Righteousness, peace, joy in the Holy Spirit.  Step 1:  Walk in Righteousness.  Don’t worry, Jesus is your righteousness, you don’t have to earn it, but it’s for you to walk in!  Righteousness:  Right Standing (through Christ) and right doing.  What He told you!  Obsessing over this thing isn’t what He told you.  Get busy obeying, and you will leave circular thinking behind, you will leave mental and emotional ruts behind.  God has things for you to do today.  Start with PiVAT – Get His Plan, and then get busy!  When you start obeying, peace will come – righteousness leads to peace, and then joy.  That’s the kingdom of God.  That’s why the devil tries to steal it, so he can steal your blessing.  But if you hear and heed this truth, God is about to restore what the devil has been trying to steal.   Praying that you will escape every mind trap, worry trap, and false mental pursuit trap that the devil tries to distract you with.  So you will run with perseverance, peace and joy – the path God has for you today, His good, pleasing and perfect will for you.  Obedience is a path, not a list.  Obedience is the best protection from distraction, worry or frustration.  Just get busy obeying, just get busy praising, and start thanking Him for the answer and good result that he already has for that thing the devil wants you worrying about.  God’s got it, you don’t have to.  He’s bigger, and He has promised good for you – on the path He leads you in! If something is trying to consume you, reject it.  Be consumed with Thanksgiving, His presence, and His plan for you today, and get moving!
 
Love you all,
