Who's it going to be?

Hey guys,


I am glad many of you enjoyed our last devotionals about renewing your mind. If you are going to be brainwashed anyway why not let Jesus do it. One more bit of advise before we move on. The bible says "present your bodies as a living sacrifice..." This verse is right before the verse that tells you to change by brainwashing your mind. Before you can renew your mind you have to "present your bodies as a living sacrifice". This means you need some kind of discipline in your life to "renew" your mind. You have to be willing to follow God's standards and orders. It's like following your parents orders even though sometimes you don't feel like it. Sometimes you won't feel like obeying God but His orders are always for your benefit whether you see it at first or not.


So what are you going to do? Who's it going to be? You or Him? What am I talking about? Are you going to keep living your life following yourself or are you finally going to start following Jesus? There are only two kinds of people in this world. Those who follow themselves and those who follow Jesus. SIMPLE. Life is simple. We like to make things difficult. We all fall under different categories like race, sex, gender, nationality and so on. But ultimately you are either self controlled or God controlled. It's as easy as that.


Do you trust yourself more than you trust God? I think most of us do. It's easier that way. We are in control that way. Trusting God means letting go of your control and trusting in someone you can't see. That's ridiculous, right? No. The bible says..."trust God with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding..." That means that you will not understand everything when you give God control. It won't feel right. It doesn't make sense. No one else is doing it!


Trusting doesn't mean it will make sense to you all the time. Have you ever had someone ask you to trust them, but it was hard for you to do so? God is asking you the same thing right now. Trust me with all your heart and not your head. Get your head out of the way and let your heart start doing the thinking. I know this might not make sense but that is the point. TRUST JESUS! He will show you the way. Nothing else we put our trust in is going to help us. Everything else is falling apart and I know you see it. Economy, education, all that other stuff is not working. It was never supposed to work the way we thought it should. We were never meant to trust in stuff that would not last. Jesus is going to last forever. Put your trust in Him.


Peace out.
