Being Moved

Break it open! Losing is not an option! Winners never quit! Push it to the max!

A) Hilarious slogans?

B) Awful motivators?

C) Something you'd hear in an exercise class given by a muscle head at the gym?

D) All of the above

I know my choice. When confronted with decisions and problems, we can get so caught up in following the advice of others. These slogans may not pop into mind when you're sitting in class taking a final, but your friend sitting behind you, desperate for a passing grade and needing help may be a different kind of motivator. So how do you decide the right thing to do? Do you have time to pray and seek God, right there in the classroom? Probably not. You have to decide with what you have available to you right there at your desk. So how? Well, lucky for you that the Sprit of the living God is alive inside of you. He will guide you in ways that you can't even imagine. The Spirit is like a stylus that draws our path before us, sending us in the right direction. You may not have time to consult your pastor in times like that, but trust in the Spirit that resides inside you and do what you know is right!

I encourage you this week to realize that you're never alone, even in the toughest circumstances. God is bigger, stronger and more available to you than anything or anyone else you can encounter. Tough decision? God is stronger. Problems with family? God is stronger. This is the inherited right of every born-again Christian. The Bible says that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. So allow yourself to be moved by the Spirit of the living God. He will not lead you astray!
