The POWER of CHOICES.

"The FUEL of our choices CONNECTS us to inexhaustible POWER of our God which in turn IGNITES the fire of our destiny." Just a thought while meditating, praying, and just in general being quiet before the Lord.

Our destiny is not a destination! Our destiny is to become like Jesus Romans 8:29. This life is just a journey along the way.

The man or woman that we are becoming is a direct result of the CHOICES that we make on a daily basis. For some reason we have been trained to think that one BIG choice will lead to all our problems being solved and we will have arrived. (lottery, marriage, job) No my friend it is the things that we do daily and we do them over and over and over. The Bible calls it being FAITHFUL IN THE SMALL THINGS.

My Pastor and mentor MORRIS SHEATS taught me that "DETAILS DETERMINE DESTINY." This principle teaches me to take care of all the small things because they add up to big things.

1. LOVE BETTER TODAY

2. READ SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU BETTER TODAY. Including the Bible but not excluding other resources.

3. DREAM TODAY.

4. ACT ON YOUR DREAM TODAY.

5. BE FAITHFUL TODAY. To your God, spouse, family, job, promises you have made, and financially.

7. OBEY THE HOLY SPIRIT TODAY - Random acts of kindness will take you far.


This is not meant to be a check off list but those are the first things that came to my mind.

I am encouraged . . . I hope you are.
