Just what do I mean by that?
Tell the truth ~
When something significant goes wrong in your life ~ do you catch yourself thinking perhaps that you have not been praying enough, reading your Bible regularly, attending church and/or being kind to your fellow man?
When something goes right ~ do you feel like you are being rewarded for a behavior or for just being good?
This is akin to superstition.
Nothing, and I will repeat NOTHING that we do, say or think affects the Father's feelings about us. We know that He chastens those that HE loves. He has a plan and purpose for us but it is not based on what we do or don't do. He loves us! He did ALL the work! There is nothing that we can do to earn or subtract from our standing with Him. Nothing we do will force God's hand or reduce Him to a good luck charm.
Sooooo the next time you have those "little foxes" running around in your head ~ put them in their place by remembering and praising the Lord, the One who never changes and is always constant. He holds the whole world in His hand and what we do or don't do will not alter His plan*
HE LOVES YOU AND ME!
Blessings~
* This is not a statement that is a loop hole for sin. He watches us with a watchful eye and will allow and disallow certain situations in our lives to forever call us closer to Himself.
