In life it is important to do what is right. It is never fruitful or productive to scheme against others. Nor do we have to be concerned when others scheme against us. God’s word is established and firm. What was designed or intended to hurt you, will not prosper. The set up will not set you back, it will only help you step up to a higher level of faith. Live your life in a way that is encouraging to all who come across your path. Never seek to devise plans that are not in the best interest of others. Don’t participate in wicked ploys. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. Don’t be concerned when people plot against you and try to bring you down. While we never wish bad or harm on anyone, God will not be mocked. We all reap what we sow. So, do the right thing.
Allow God to guide, direct and show you the way. Seek His face for clear and concise direction. His instructions are rooted in His love for you and grace towards you. Be careful who you allow to speak into your life. Be mindful of who you give influence over your life and the decisions you make. Trust God to steer you down the path that He desires for you. Always remember you were not designed to live haphazardly. There is a clear path, plan and purpose for your life. When trying to decipher the course to take, call on the creator of the blueprint. He will give you discernment. Stay connected. ADaubon
