Make the First Move
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.”
(Colossians 3:12, NLT)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Too often, when something doesn’t go the way we expect, we make the mistake of telling ourselves, “It’s not fair. It’s not right. When that changes, when it improves, then I’ll have a better attitude.” No, you’ve got to make the first move. You do your part and God will do His part. Quit worrying about God changing another person, and allow God to change you first.

Is there something you’re letting overwhelm you? Maybe you think it’s too much. Why don’t you get up every morning and make this simple declaration, “God, I want to thank You that I can handle anything that comes my way today. I can handle a difficult boss. I can handle getting stuck in traffic. I can handle my plans not working out. Lord, thank You that I’ll have a good attitude wherever I am.”

Decide ahead of time that you are going to stay in an attitude of faith and expectancy. Choose to clothe yourself with mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Choose God’s ways and let Him order your steps all the days of your life.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, today I clothe myself with peace. I clothe myself with mercy and patience. I choose to walk in Your ways so that I can live as an example of Your love everywhere I go in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Let God make the first move
 

Want to remember to get up each day and connect with God so that I may turn over my will and be given the strength courage to have an attitude of love kindness humility understanding be gentle with others and me. God will not give to me anything I cannot handle walk bravely lightly each day with God by my side all things are possible for today I am sober. So grateful for the miracles He puts in my life may I always be ready to do His will and not mine. For I do not know what is the best plan. Thank God I am sober.
