No matter what situation in life occurs, everything is a choice. There will be a choice to make a right or wrong decision. For example, some one can go through the same terrible experience of having their heart broke, becoming laid off or suffer through some type of traumatic circumstance. What and how they decide to handle it is a choice they will have to make. They can either become bitter or better. Stronger or weaker. Getting over something is a choice just like not choosing to move on is a choice. No matter who was wrong. Your choices should not be fueled on emotions. Emotions can lead you astray. Do not fret over someone who has nothing to do with purpose. Making great decisions require you to do what’s best for the long term and not for a season. Can God trust you to make the right choices? Can he trust you over the small things? Can he trust you to not follow your feelings? Can he trust you to make wise decisions when no one’s looking?  Great leaders are made by the decisions they make. Not by how they feel. Great leaders have discipline. Making great and wise decisions is critical to have in order to be an effective servant of God. A great decision can change your life.

It’s easy to complicate the most simpliest things. It’s also easy to worry over things we do not have any control of. We complicate things when we lose our faith. We complicate things when we try to fix people and situations. We complicate things when we try to be the solution for everyone else. We can also complicate things by enacting on our emotions instead of God’s way. The best remedy is to give all to him. Rest and dwell in his peace. Allow things to fall in its place. Relax. He shall be with you even until the end of time. We make things much  worse when we complicate things. Not everything has to be complex. Enjoy the simple things in life and allow no one to rob you of your joy and peace. Those are precious treasures that no one can take away from you. Why make any situation more difficult than what it is, even through misunderstanding? Rest in knowing that God can handle any situation and that there’s nothing too hard for him. When we begin to handle it ourselves we complicate the situation. Allow him to fix it. You are not alone. Matthew 11:30 says His yoke is easy and his burden is light.

There is a time and a season for everything. Everything has a reason and a purpose. Do not dwell on the things that are not working out. Focus on the good that it would be used for. All things come together for the good. All things. That means the events of your past and present will work for the greatness of your future. Your trials on this earth are only a test. Run your race. Its not the fastest, swiftest or smartest who wins. But those who endure until the end shall be victorious. Remember tough times do not last, but tough people do. Surround yourself with the boldness and courage of God.

Be consistent in all that you do. Do not be discouraged. Giving up is not an option. Even when people do not see who you truly are, you cannot allow them to confirm who you are. The best is always on the way and the best is yet to come. Do not be weary in well doing. Your hard work will pay off. Everything shall come to you and return to you in full measure. Speak those things as though they were. Operate through the power of faith and not in the natural of now. No man can take away the favor that God has showered upon your life. For God’s word, favor and wisdom is priceless.

Sometimes we concentrate on our weaknesses, rather than our strengths. We focus on what we are not skilled or equipped in. We might even tell God that we are not qualified to do his assignment because we do not excel in specific areas. For example, someone may feel that they do not have the speaking skills or courage to present themselves in front of a crowd. They feel that they can’t do what God is calling them to do because they are not gifted or confident in those areas, and maybe God can find someone better. Not only do we dwell on our weakness, but sometimes we operate in fear. Self doubt and fear will hold us back from everything that God wants us to receive. Self doubt is a closed door that can shut us away from the blessings of God. God knew before the foundations of the earth and before you were formed in your mother’s womb your fear, setbacks, and weaknesses. His strength is made perfect in weakness. You do not need to worry about what you lack, for his will shall be done through his power and strength. You have all that you need and there is nothing that shall go to waste. God is strategic. If he wanted to chose someone better he could, but he chose you. You are the perfect person to do his assignment. It is written in Matthew 22:14,  for many are called but few are chosen. You were made to be a champion and an overcomer. Remember that you are more than a conqueror. Focus on God’s power, strength and might and you shall remain victorious. Its not about what you lack, its about operating in his will with his power.
