PUSHING THE RESET BUTTON

This week for the care of your soul don’t be afraid start over in the areas of your life that are bringing stress and grief to your soul. There is no shame before God in saying, “This is too much, this is to overwhelming, and I need your help in making the Godly decision that requires for me to be mature in you. I am admitting to you this day that I need you to stop me where I am and help me start me over in you.”

Remember we do not live by the standards of man, man lives by the standards of God, and if starting over in the areas of our life that brings us stress and sickness is what is needed to bring our soul sanity and peace then starting over is the blessing of God.

Now I’m not saying quit when something gets hard, there is a difference between the necessity being for one to push through and work through something to get to the other side, and just down right starting over. Sometimes pushing through is the blessing rather than restarting. And then there are other times when leaving things as they are and waking away is a life saver. Situations like these can be anything in our life that is not leading to any Godly resolve in our life; anything that is so taxing on our soul, spirit and faith that it is diminishing us instead of uplifting us in the glory of God.

This week have no shame in the restart, have no shame in making the Godly decision to be honest with yourself and say, “This is not working, and I must let this go and walk away from it so that my soul can be at rest and peace in God.”

Remember first to pray and ask the Lord to show you the areas of your life that need a restart, and then pray for him to give you the strength and courage in him to not be afraid to walk away and start over.

Philippians 3:13-14...Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 3:5-6...Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.
