Honorable in principles, intentions and actions…is this you? Wanting to do what is right and actually doing what is right is not the same thing. Intentions are empty when not acted upon.


Do what you say and do agree with each other; do they line up?


When we are faced with difficult choices, at first it may be challenging to make the right decision. The reason is because more often times our flesh is used to getting its way and that makes it much harder to resist being tempted to do wrong. I have this saying around the house, “an unsaved person knows right from wrong”. Meaning being honest is a learned behavior, a moral; value. Honesty will sometimes look like a mistake. You may or may not get your desired results but still trust GOD with the outcome. What have you been struggling with? What have you been trying to decide if you should or shouldn’t do? As with David (2 Samuel 11, 12), he didn’t count up the cost of his decision to have Uriah killed. Truth be told, sometimes we don’t count up the cost of our decisions either. We do what pleases us and deal with the consequences later, regretfully. Furthermore, he thought he would get away with it and no one would find out. God knew…He sees all. He sent Nathan to be honest with David and tell him the truth about himself no matter how painful it was. But what I like about this story is that David owned his dishonesty (sin) and repented. There were consequences and he did lose a child but God restored him with another one. That’s great news, GOD will restore!

From the time you’re introduced to the world, you are are taught little by little to be independent. You’re expected to learn to walk on your own, feed yourself, learn new words and phrases, go potty and eventually clean up behind yourself. All leading to INDEPENDENCE. Then as you get older you’re taught to get a job because you shouldn’t rely or depend on anyone else to support you. You were probably taught, if you’re well and able you should do it yourself and be self sufficient. That’s all good and dandy, but what happens when the bottom falls out or the unexpected happens? Do you still play the independent role or do you seek guidance and support? So many worry and stress over simple fixes because deep down inside their pride won’t allow them to depend on anyone for anything. After all, you were taught to grow into independence and that’s all you know. So it’s safe to say that it could be difficult for some to depend on God when it’s challenging to rely on someone else for help. God is always there to help you, He is constant. It’s like you’re on a team, God is the coach and the only way to victory is to depend on the Coach’s direction. At some point in life you have to be willing to give up a little independence to be successful. Are you willing to get self out the way to be in position to depend on someone else? Believe it or not God has people waiting for you to surrender to His will. You can’t do everything yourself, that’s why it’s people in this world and not just a person.

I was writing a piece; jotting down notes to myself about people in the Bible who set their minds towards something. People like Elijah who kept worshipping God even when it looked like it wouldn’t happen. The Bible says that Elijah told his servant to go again and again seven times before he even saw a SMALL sign. Not to mention Joshua, he stayed focused too. He not only helped the nation of Israel cross the Jordan River on dry land, God also anointed him to defeat Jericho, its king and its mighty warriors. My eight year old at the time was reading my notes and said, “that’s gross mindset.” At least that’s what I thought he said. He went on to say no, “growth mindset.” He further explained that growth mindset is when you have a positive attitude towards a situation and yield good results (I had to Google it, Smh). Nevertheless, you should have the same kind of mindset. So, first things first…you have to stay focused—set your mind; make up your mind and make a conscious decision of what you want to continue in. Decide…Choose…Stay…Focus…and Set. Make up in your mind what you believe by faith and keep that mindset. This is the SHIFT; the beginning of your TRANSFORMATION. Continue with boldness and courage!
