A Made Up Mind
 
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:6
 
A made up mind. I have a made up mind that I will in all my ways acknowledge Him for I know that He shall direct my paths. I thank Him that I can lean, I can trust, I can depend on Him. For nothing, no thing is too hard for God and nothing, no thing will be impossible with God. I can do all things through Jesus Christ Who gives me strength. I have a made up mind to be all that God says I can be, I commit to the Lord whatever and everything that I do and I know that because of Him my plans will succeed. For I have a made up mind to follow Jesus for He is my Shepherd and He leads me beside still waters. I have a made up mind for God has told me in Acts 2:39 for the promise is unto me and unto my children and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. I have a made up mind for the promise is to me, to my husband, to my children, and to generations to come. You see I have a made up mind for Jesus has told me that He will never leave me, that He will never forsake me, and that He will be with me always. I have a made up mind to go where God tells me, to do what He tells me, and to know that I am becoming all that He has spoken into and over my life. I have a made up mind for my God is faithful and what He has promised will come to pass. I have a made up mind and I put on my new nature and I am renewed as I learn to know my Creator and as I become more like Jesus, I know that God’s Word is a Light for my path and a Lamp unto my feet. I have a made up mind for the one thing I ask of the Lord, the one thing that I seek the most, is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life delighting in Him and in His presence. I have a made up mind for God takes care of me and He will supply all my need from His glorious riches which are in Christ Jesus. You see I have a made up mind to follow where God leads. Take a look Abraham, he was told to pack up and move far away to a place where he had never been. And God was with Him. Look at Noah, he was told to build an ark on dry land where there was no water and in a time when it had never rained before. Look at Esther, she was told to approach the king at a time when the king had not summoned her, and even though this could have meant her death, she still did as God said and she saved her people. You see they had a made up mind to believe, to do all that God told them for they knew deep within that God would provide what they needed to do what He asked of them. I have a made up mind to do all that God has told me and to believe that He will bring to pass all that He has shown me. For you see God makes known the end from the beginning. Yes there have been times I have kneeled at the feet of Jesus and I have been honest with Him, I have told Him that I was scared to walk this path alone, but He told me that I was not alone, that He is always with me. And my reply was I will go Lord where you lead me for I know that if you bring me to it, you will bring me through it and out of it with great victory and great glory for Your name. For you see I never underestimate and I never limit God. For He is able to do more than I could ever imagine and more than I could ever ask. I have a made up mind that I will wait on God’s timing, for His timing is perfect timing and I know that if I wait upon the Lord that He will renew my strength and I will soar on wings like eagles, I will run and not get weary, I will walk and not faint. I have a made up mind for God knows the plans that He has for me and they are plans for my good to give me a future and hope. And because of this I can be still and know that He is God. In confidence and quietness is my strength. I have a made up mind to be all that God says that I can be. And God has told me that the time has come to work the plan. And to be quiet and to be confident in Him for He is God and His Word will accomplish all that He says that He will do and His Word will not return void. I have a made up mind for I trust in the Lord , for He is my Light and He is my Salvation, He is my Fortress and He is my Refuge and He is my ever present help in time of trouble.

I HAVE A MADE UP MIND AND I ACKNOWLEDGE GOD AND HE SHALL DIRECT MY PATHS. I’M STILL HERE AND I’M A SURVIVOR. IF GOD BE FOR ME, WHO OR WHAT CAN BE AGAINST ME? MY ROOTS ARE FIRMLY PLANTED IN THE LORD AND I BLOOM INTO IT. FOR I THANK GOD THAT HE USES ORDINARY PEOPLE LIKE ME. I MOVE FORWARD IN FAITH AND IN PRAYER. FOR I DESIRE TO BE A LIVING TESTIMONY FOR GOD. I GO WHEN I DON’T FEEL LIKE GOING. AGAINST ALL ODDS I KNOW I CAN WIN FOR GOD HAS MADE ME MORE THAN A CONQUEROR.
