The Steps of a Righteous Man

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and
he delights in His way.
Psalm 37:23

Commit your works unto the Lord, and your thoughts
shall be established.
Proverbs 16:3

Good Morning Everyone,

Are you established in your daily routine?
Do you set goals and have things planned out
so that your day goes more smoothly?

Do you have your life mapped out?
Or do you feel that you are drifting through life
without direction. To be honest with you, even
if you are organized, planned ahead, goal minded,
many unexpected things can happen that throw
you for a loop mentally.

If you are a Christian, your first goal each day is
to go to God in prayer, and seek His will. Ask God
how he would have you act, what He would have you
do, and to guide you through the day. You SUBMIT
yourself to his will.

The second thing we must do is surrender our burdens
to him right at the beginning of the day.

Don't wake up and rehearse your problems over and
over in your mind. Instead, lay them at God's feet
trusting in His answers and Provision and Guidance.
Then don't pick them back up.. they will keep you
from enjoying your day, they will alter your moods,
your relationships and your mindset. You have to let
go to move ahead.

When we are established, we are strong, we are certain,
we are confident, because of what Christ says He will
do, and who we are in Him. We are his beloved children,
Called out by him, called to live a life of light, trust and daily
Hope in Him.

You can only do this if you seek Him first, and really mean it.
It cannot be a half hearted attempt, and leaving things out
we know we should not be doing, or not telling God everything.
If you want to be a triumphant, victorious Christian,
you have to walk the walk Jesus called us to,
and talk the talk that pleases Him.

NO compromise.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not
unto your own understanding. In all your ways
acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6

As you do this, take time for Bible reading daily. It will
fuel your spirit, strengthen you, infuse you with hope
and draw you closer to God. It is NOT something
we can neglect. We all need this encouragement,
wisdom from God and hope daily.

God bless you my friends.

love,
millie

unkind... I will not respond in a like manner.

stranger.

3. TODAY I WILL BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I SAY:
I will carefully choose and guard my words being certain that I
do not spread gossip.

IT SECRETLY:
I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another.

I will practice the golden rule - "Do unto others as I would have
them do unto me" - with everyone I encounter.

for my body.

10. TODAY I WILL GROW SPIRITUALLY:

reading something spiritual or inspirational today; I will find a
quiet place (at some point during this day) and listen to GOD's
voice!!!

putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and hope of salvation
as a helmet." - 1 Thessalonians 5:8
