STOP IT!!!
Stop It! Quit drifting with your life! God has a far greater purpose for you than what you may have experienced.
But on this day, put it behind you!
We are made up of impulses, desires, and dreams but over time there is something in us that has a tendency to just start drifting with life.
To just go along to get along with the world.
What do you need to stop?
Some mental habit that is crippling you?
A nagging sense of self-pity?
The downward drift of impure thoughts?
A conflicting sense of jealousy?
A numbing sense of worry?
The creeping paralysis of a fear of failure?
You can stop it! There are some things you can do to make sure you don’t fall into the drift.
Decide What to Stop
Decide If You Want to Stop It
Marriage - We drift when we bicker and nag and fight about money, jobs, and kids. The devil can keep you so busy finding fault with your mate that over the course of time your marriage is something that is just drifting along. Stop It!!!
Job - We drift when we are doing nothing more than just making a living. As one man said it one time, “Just trying to make ends meet!” Millions of people are trapped in this because they just drift and never develop. Stop It!!! You can advance, you can be promoted, you can go to college.
Money - Most people just drift when it comes to their personal finances. You can drift with the devil and never save and constantly live in fear of poverty. But one day, you will wake up and old man or old woman and discover that it could have been so different if you would have gotten free with a budget. Stop It!!! Start a budget today!
Thoughts - We drift far too often in the arena of negative thoughts. Negative thoughts will lead to negative acts. Negatives acts will lead you into a terrible condition of the mind and soul. Stop It!!!
But you have to decide if you want to stop it.
Make Up Your Mind to Stop It
If you will quit drifting and stop it, it will be because you make up your mind to stop it!
Quit whining and complaining about all the things going against you and start thinking of some of the things you have going for you!
1 Samuel 4:9 (KJV) Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.
Put some faith into it! The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not “try harder” but rather “believe harder!” If you are going to stop it, you have to believe that God is for you and that God can help you. Amen?
There isn’t a man that has ever been made with an iron will, that is why the Lord has to help us out. He can do it as no one else can.
Encourage your faith by looking at the miracles. . . and in the Name of God. . . Stop It!!!!
Comments
I like this. Yet, is it so complicated that we can not achieve this? I think that just "Stop It", is something that requires effort, immediate action on our part. It requires a response. As part of that response, we should also ask for the Lord's help in earnest.
Amen Tammy Van Horn amen indeed
Good words.
Amen brother, appreciate it Tramp Chuck Dare see you in the morning!
