Word 4 U 2day/Fit for Purpose!

Fit for Purpose!

'He trains my hands for battle' PSALM 18 :34

In order to get fit for the purpose God has for you you'll need to follow this training program:

1) say 'no' to negativity: be ruthless with bad thoughts

2) don't be a 'belly button Christian' (just focused on yourself) put other people's needs first

3) eat the Word: as you feed on God's Word you are made strong.

4) listen to the still small voice: it's unlikely that God will use a lighting bolt from heaven to get your attention every time! Don't rush your time with Him and you'll notice the difference

5) shift to a higher gear of faith: to go faster and cover more ground you have to hit the high gears. That means gathering momentum; just like riding a bike you'll never get any speed up if you're always stopping and starting again

6) get the right friendships: God's into community not just individuals. In community you find out what people are truly made of and you can be there for each other when the tough times come. Treasure your God-given friends

7) ask God to give you understanding about the place you're in. Knowing you're in training for your destiny will keep you from pulling back, following the crowd or chucking in the towel. The word for you today is: press through and get fit for purpose!

LadyLovesJesus,

Thank you for sharing this today, you have no idea of how bad I need it. I am actually physically ill because I keep doubting my decisions and fearing my ability to achieve all that I have to get done this week just to move my mother into an Assisted Living Facility. I am also heartbroken that things have come to this, she was so healthy and well just 18 mons ago and was living with me for about 2 years. It breaks my heart to have to put her someplace, but she is in a nursing home right now and loves the activities and the scheduled day and having friends. She has mild dementia and needs help with things I can't help her with, plus she's in a wheelchair and my house is not wheelchair accessible. I know this is all in the Lord's hands, but I'm only human and can't help but feel distressed over having to move her.

So, I am fasting and praying today and here reading everything I can. I love being here so much. I think I shall call my minister and some of my brothers and sisters now as well and get as much prayer going as possible.

I will not let the enemy defeat me with his senseless negative thoughts. God loves me and my mother and he's leading us in His direction. Praise God!!!!!!!!!

Katzie
