MAKING GOD THE CENTRE OF OUR DECISIONS AND PLANS

Hello lovely readers and followers, how was your week? Hope it wasn’t too stressful. My week was good by the Grace of God. Wow!!! I can’t believe its December already. It’s nearly Christmas. Well, we serve a great and mighty God. It is amazing how this year has just flown by but then ask yourself, ‘could you have made it without God?’  My answer to that question is ‘No, Not at all.’ My dear reader, I want you to take a few minutes to thank God for His Grace upon your life. Indeed He deserves the highest praise.

Well, here goes the Word for this week. The Word for this week is taken from Psalms 127:1 and it states that “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards watch in vain.”(NIV)  I used the verse above for my quiet time on Thursday.  After reading the verse I was listening to a song called “This is your house” by Don Moen, then the Holy Spirit whispered to me and asked, ‘what is the point of you singing this song when you don’t even bother to invite God when it comes to making decision of this house?’

From Psalms 127:1 I’ve realised that it is very easy to get carried away and make decision without consulting or informing God about your plans. However the only reasons why the decisions we make work according to plan is because God had already planned for it happen. So just imagine involving God and making him the centre of our decision making. He would guide us and the plan will even work beyond expectations. My lesson from this verse is to make God the centre of my day to day decision making because I cannot do anything without His approval. For it is better to build with God than to build in vain. Proverbs 16:8 gives us an assurance that if you “Commit to the Lord in whatever you do, he will establish your plans.”(NIV)

So next time you want to make a decision about your job, relationship, friendship, university, and other important issues regarding your life, STOP and speak to the father. Ask Him to be the centre of your decision and ask Him to show you the right way and path.
