Take a hold of your life

Ecclesiastes 7:29 (GNT)
'This is all that I have learned: God made us plain and simple, but we have made ourselves very complicated."

Life today is a very complicated journey. Each day filled with pressures and challenges that keep pilling on and on until we either break down and crumble or build strong enough reserves and learn to carry even more.

We need to at some point take a hold of our lives. This means we need to start living on purpose, some people are so blessed that they realise this at an early age but for most of us we catch on later in life after we’ve looked at our lives and start taking inventory and realise we aren’t satisfied with the results. We look at our careers, our relationships, our health and all the other vast areas of our lives and feel this should be different, and it can be.

The scripture says “God made us simple, but we have made ourselves very complicated”. How is it that we have done to make ourselves so complicated, One of the things we do is give into our fears. FEAR kills us on the inside and causes us to shape our world in protective cocoons that really serve no other purpose but to keep us from reaching our true potential.

Another complication is MAGNIFYING OUR PROBLEM, when facing challenges it’s so easy to focus only at the problem that all you see is the problem but it you take a breath and stand back far enough you realise that there are options and above all that Gods grace is sufficient and the Lord is bigger than the troubles we face.

The other thing we do is NEGLECT, We live in a world where we are so busy being busy we end up neglecting the important things in life things like, love, family, rest, using our imagination, our dreams neglecting the little things in our lives to chase after what is seemingly important can be costly, ”one day of neglect can cost you a year of repair”

Today I invite you to take hold of your life. Start living on purpose and make every move with intention and a vision of reaching your desired outcome.
