Philippians 2:13 KJV For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. AS A CHRISTIAN, have you ever wondered why a situation turned out disappointingly different from what you expected? Especially when you know in your heart that you were walking the right path and following all the rules? Well I have. In fact, this has occurred countless times in my own life. Comfort your thoughts in knowing, as the good book tells us above, that it is God himself who works and allows things in our lives, for HIS WILL & HIS PLEASURE. Isn't that what we aspire to do, please God? So continue on the righteous path, because everything is according to His Will and done BY HIM. @marciabrownmartin #morningmanner #mirninginspiration #greatriverjamaica (at Great River (Jamaica)) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtGRbuzgh63/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1joc2p21ej95a

Some years ago there was a hilarious dance song, in which the cheating singer tried to persuade his woman that she really did not catch him in a sexually compromising position with another woman. All through the hit song he repeatedly denies the truth by simply saying, "It wasn't me," which was the catch phrase of the song that also propelled it to worldwide popularity. One particular stanza in the song says, " To be a true player you gotta know how to flex; If she says it's night, CONVINCE her that it's day!" Can you imagine someone trying to persuade or convince you to doubt what you have seen or doubt what is the truth? CONVINCING: that is the very same tactic the enemy uses on everyone. Persuading us that our lives can't get any better and that mustering any hope is futile. If our mindset is cemented in this position, we eventually become like old dogs whose minds are impenetrable to anything new. But here's something amazing captured in Romans chapter 12 where we are encouraged to become transformed by the renewing of our mindset. How do we renew our minds? By submitting it to God. CONVINCING and PERSUASION takes place in our thoughts and that's why the bible makes reference to our minds, as the place where change and transformation begins. So, there is hope today for anyone feeling stuck in any dead end habit or situation. I've had several 'old dog's habits that seemed like I would never break. But once I understood the benefits of submitting my mind to God, then my views and perspectives began to change, and this old dog started to learn new things. I became A NEW WOMAN! A new man in Christ is indeed a new creature and its never too late to learn, as long as you have life.

Ephesians 3:16 KJV That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; I KNOW how difficult it is to cough up a smile or muster the courage to move forward when our insides feel low and discouraged. So many daily issues on the outside tries to suppress us, and truth be told, sometimes suppression overcomes. But like the apostle paul, we too can pray, asking God to strengthen our inner man, according to the richness of His Glory. I know I NEED it. How about you? COULD YOUR INNER PERSON USE SOME STRENGTH TODAY? Have a great day!!
