Stop going in Circles

When you're tired of going in circles doing the same thing over and over, look up! God is there with open arms to pull you up and place your feet on higher ground!  He loves you! 

"You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north..."  -Deuteronomy 2:3

Freedom

You are free to make mistakes.  You are free to ask for forgiveness.  You are free to choose to invite the God who made the universe to be a part of your life.  You are free to live for Him! 

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17 ESV)

Stop Fighting

Sometimes when you feel alone, surrounded by the enemy, and in the middle of the battlefield, it's time to stop fighting.  Let God fight this battle for you. Be still.  Stay calm.  Rest in Him.  Let God tell you when it's time to rest and when it's time to fight.

“The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm."  -Exodus 14:14

Communication

Communication brings clarity and peace.  Don't speculate what the other person is thinking, but rather talk to them directly and quickly.  You both will feel much better. 

“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, (Ephesians 4:26 NKJV)

God Rescues

God rescues. What do you need rescuing from today? A situation? A relationship? Yourself? Let Him rescue you.

He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord. (Psalm 40:2-3 ESV)

Follow the Peace

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, and peace. Satan can't produce peace, only the Spirit can.  So, follow the peace, for where there is peace, there is God. 

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit."  --Galatians 5:22-23, 25 ESV

Sharpen

You become a product of who you choose to be around and spend time with.  Surround yourself with people who sharpen you. It makes all the difference in the world.  

Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17 ESV)
