TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE!!

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE!

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:2 NIV)

Do you feel like you no longer have control of your life? Like life's running you instead of you running it? That's because you're in the passenger's seat, conforming to people, events and circumstances. They're in the driver's seat, not you. No wonder your frustration level is high and your contentment level is low. "Don't let the world..squeeze you into its own mould." If you're feeling "squeezed", you've got two options.
.
a) Remain a conformer, or become a transformer. Either choose to stay in the passenger seat, or get behind the wheel. The Bible says "Do not be conformed to this world" (Roman 12:2). Instead be transformed into the proactive, faith-driven person God meant you to be.
.
b) Take charge of your life by 'renewing your mind'. Instead of struggling to change the people and the circumstances around you, change how you think and what you tell yourself, The Greek word for renewing means "to align your thoughts with God's".
.
Abandon those self-defeating thoughts that tell you "you're not, you can't , and you'll never be able to." God says," You are, you can and you certainly will be able to," because of His indwelling power! John writes," This is the victory that conquers the world - our faith" (I John 5:4).
.
Go to God's word!! Discover what He says about the things that intimidate or control you, then pull the plug on them. The Word for you today is : "Don't be afraid.. I am your God. I will make you strong.. I will support you" ( Isa 41:10) Align your thoughts with God's thoughts. Get into the driver's seat and take charge of your life!
