LOOK

This morning the Lord was speaking to me about some cool stuff! In life we face decisions, situations, challenges, etc... everyday. So how do we find God's truth and direction in our lives for our ministries, families, friends, financial decisions, etc... I think we do a 3 step process. I want to do a series some time called, "LOOK". It hit me today what we need to do and I got some cool ideas for a good series.

First we LOOK UP! That has to do with turning to God for ALL our needs and questions. So many times we turn to God as a last resort, but He should be the number one thing plotting our decisions and values in life! We don't turn to the stars, business principles, Oprah, or anything else. We need to look up to God first and foremost in order to get on the right track!

Second is LOOK OUT! We then need to look out around us and surround ourselves with Eagles and not Chickens. Chickens waller around in the dirt and in the low places but Eagles fly high above the mess and dirt. Eagles use their abilities and soar above their circumstances and issues. We need to surround ourselves with the right people and the right kind of thinking! You will never go anywhere if you are surrounded by complainers, sifters and not lifters, takers and not givers!

Third you have to LOOK IN! So many people believe in God but not themselves. They think God could never use them for something GREAT! But God is into the business of taking nothing and making something! You have to look within yourself and know that you are a child of the most high God! You have to know that God can USE YOU to change the world! He isn't looking for ability He is looking for availability from the hearts of people! So believe that you have what it takes to accomplish something great and don't tear yourself down with stinking thinking!

Well that's it, just some thoughts I had today as I was running on the treadmill this morning!
