He Reigns, Let Him!

I am starting today to listen to what the Lord wants for my life. Not to what I feel I need at the moment. Everything I seek and strive for based on my feelings and emotions I never seem to reach. I understand now that it is because I have allowed my emotions to reign. As the bible says, the heart is treacherous, who can know it? You never know what the outcome might be when you rely on your emotions to drive you. From this day forward I will no longer be ruled by my emotions or my flesh but will seek the Holy Spirit within me, giving it power to rule over my actions. I want to act on obedience to the Lord alone. Obedience fueled by devotion. It is not about us; we must truly rely on Him and allow Him to take control of the circumstances around us. We must cover every single decision in prayer and not move until He says move. Yes, we must still work in the natural to make every effort to see His will done in our lives, but we can never allow ourselves to go ahead of God...or, stand in His way.
