Activate Today!

“Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies.” (Psalm 34:12-13)

*Do not allow the ways of this world to taint your heart. Boldly be different and use Truth to speak. Edit your words today, only speaking those which please our Father. Use the tongue to build others up, teach about Jesus, comfort, support and love. The Holy Spirit lay within each of us. . .we must choose to activate Him within our lives each day. Trouble finding words to say? Look it up in His Book. Plenty Truths exist for you to pass on to others. May His Truth be your vocabulary!

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27)

*How awesome that our God protects, guides and rescues His children from the ways of this world. Cry out to Him and He will give peace. The peace lay within each of us. . .we must choose to activate that peace and allow Him to work within us. Don’t be afraid; He has your back!

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. . .” (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

*OUCH! You mean I have to be patient, kind, selfless, not easily angered, not tally up the score of wrong being done to me, protect, trust at all times, have hope in disheveled relationships and persevere even in the hardest of times. Surely this one is selective depending on circumstances, right? Well, sorry my friends, it is not. Through every step, relationship, situation and in every place traveled – love must prevail. Love today by his Truth. His love exists in each of us. . .we must choose to show and activate the love He has for us onto others. Begin with even just one display of love listed in 1 Corinthians 13 today. . .and then onto another tomorrow. . .and so on!

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

*My most favorite verse which God placed on my heart years ago and continues to remind me daily. . .whatever you faced yesterday, face today or will face tomorrow; He will work it out for your good as long as you keep loving and trusting Him. What Satan means for harm, God will turn to good. Trust in Him. His plan is already laid out for your life. . .we must choose to follow it and activate the plan by saying “Yes” to Him and trusting with each step. Will you say “Yes” today despite of circumstances?

Activate Him today in your lives by saying “Yes”, following His Truths laid out in black and white. Trust His Ways, not those OF this world. He has overcome evil with good. Believe Him when He promises that He will come back for us. In the meantime, continue to do His mighty work, bringing others to know Him and building His Kingdom. Go, be disciples. . .

Keep praying harder than the devil can work.
