That's what life really boils down to: Walking With God. No matter who comes or goes in your life, make sure you're walking with God. Do you want direction in life? Walk with God. You want peace of mind? Walk with God. Is your life in need of stability? Walk with God. Need a friend who will never leave you nor forsake you? Walk with God.
The old song says "I need thee every hour". We need God every second of every minute of every hour. There's never a time we don't need God. We shouldn't have to petition Him for something all of the time. But we should love on Him and worship Him all of the time.
We live in a time that we have to be for real in our walk with God. This has always been but even more than every before. The time for games and playing church is over! Step up or step out of the way. Prayerfully, you're stepping up and stepping on to victory!!! Walk with God!!!

Don't Forget Your Helper
You have a Helper. His Name is the Holy Spirit. It's so important that we be filled with the Holy Spirit. He's our Guide. He brings things to our remembrance.
Fact is, He does so much to aid us in life. God has designed for the Holy Spirit to be a part of the total victory He's provided.
The Spirit of God is not a feeling or goosebumps. He's a real person. He's a part of the Godhead: The Father, The Son, The Spirit.
Jesus said it was important that He go away, but He would not leave us comfortless. His departure after His resurrection allowed for the Holy Spirit to come on the scene, as it were.
So, read about the Holy Spirit in the Bible and understand that you have alot of help at your disposal. Don't feel helpless. Use your Helper, the Holy Spirit.

Thanksgiving - A Lifestyle
Thanksgiving doesn't occur just once a year. It should take place every single day. It's great that we as a country has a designated day of thanksgiving. It's laughable as to how so many are quick to celebrate "Helloween" but skip right over Thanksgiving.
It's indicative of our nation's attitude towards God. You know, people are just not thankful. They complain about everything but give thanks for nothing. How can the Lord bless such foolishness?
He's done so much for us. He's worthy of all the glory, thanks and praise. In fact, we praise Him for who He is, first and foremost. If He never does another thing, He's deserves our thanks and praise.
Question: When was the last time YOU gave God thanks and praise? Thanksgiving Day? Like I said, give God thanks EVERYDAY!
Thanksgiving is a lifestyle, no just a holiday.

Taken For Granted
Are you taking God for granted? Are you taking His grace & mercy for granted? It's amazing how people take Him for granted. In turn, they take people for granted, also.
I think of the passage where Jesus was invited to dinner. As they were eating, a woman comes in with the alabaster box of oil and anoints Jesus. The host begins to criticize her. Some of Jesus' disciples does the same thing. But Jesus basically tells them that they are taking Him for granted.
She respects and honors the Lord enough to give her best for Him. The host didn't even offer Jesus water to wash His feet. That was, at the least, the norm due to wearing sandals on the dusty roads.
The host took Jesus for granted. The woman didn't. Are you taking Jesus for granted today? I ask you to closely examine your life. Do you take people for granted? If so, I would suggest you straighten that out today. It's time to do better, in Jesus' Name.

Be Real
Just be real. The world is already full of phonies and fakes. In fact, we have too many impostors. The Bible says in the gospel of John that God is looking for people who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. In other words, real worship requires being real with God.
There are too many people playing games with the Lord. In the clubs, listening to the wrong music, and so on. It's time to get real with God.
God wants all of us. Not just parts of us. Not even most of us. Jesus paid the full price. So He's entitled to full possession. But we must surrender ALL to Him.
No more games. No more fooling around on God. Get real. Be real.

Expectation
Expect to see the goodness of the Lord. Now. Not just in the great by and by. Expect to see God's glory. If you expectation is somewhere else, expect disappointment.
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. That includes yourself. It is ok to have self-confidence but don't go overboard. When you know who you are and who you are not, that helps you to have the right kind of confidence.
Make sure you have confidence in God's ability. You'll know that God's got your back. He can take it when things are rough in our lives. It really isn't a big deal. He knows He is the Almighty God. There is nothing too hard for our God. So expect the best in every situation.

Promotion
Promotion comes from the Lord. Not because of your so-called good looks. Not because of your so-called talents. The Lord. That's where promotion comes from. So we humble ourselves and acknowledge who God is in our lives.
The Bible tells us to work as unto the Lord. In other words, work like God is your boss or supervisor. Do you give an honest day's work? I've heard my Pastor say that when many people get a job, they stop looking for work. Are you someone like that? I pray not!
Don't be a complainer either. If there's a problem, pray about it. Give it to the Lord. But stop complaining. God is able to change things for you. Who's going to promote a lazy, complaining person? So if want to be promoted, seek to please God, not people.
