The Stand…
Bringing clarity to an overwhelmed mind in business and in life…
How are we standing according to The Plan? Its not where We stand according to the World or even to our own perception. Simply are we standing where we need to be according to The Plan, that is God’s plan for our lives? The World and even We are a resource. A resource is money, material, and/or assets (Us) that are utilized for a Plan to be effective. Where we stand and how we stand according to The Plan God has for ourselves shouldn’t be left up to resources. Many times, we are exactly where we need to be standing. Sometimes we just need to take our focus off resources for a bit and back to The Plan.
Many times, in life I am reminded that where I stand is where I exactly need to be in moments of life, especially in those moments when I feel quiet all around me. I have had countless times when I look and compare myself to others or compare myself to where I was years, a day, or even just a few minutes ago. One thing that is most surprising is that in those moments of comparison I am always being taken back to the conversations I had with the Holy Spirit, and I am reminded that I am where I need to be standing. As much as I can compare myself to others I at times am hard on myself as I compare where I use to be compared to where I am at this moment. As I stand my ground and walk along the journey designed for me I have to remember that the Holy Spirit led me exactly where I need to be along the journey My God, My Yah designed for me.
As this fast-paced World goes before us it’s becoming easier to not compare myself to others. No matter where I turn to on social media, and in this journey of life I see signs and billboards all around me. These billboards and signs all saying just be yourself. There is no better time to take The Stand and be you, but where I had a hard time was comparing Me to Me. I have this perfect life that has been in my mind for years, and as wonderful as the thought is I found myself seeking that beautiful life. No matter where I was standing in life I was seeking to stand in that exact position that keeps playing over and over again in my head. The more I seek to stand in alignment with the vision I saw I realized the more I was farther away from the vision. I know and acknowledge that the Holy Spirit guides me to where I need to be according to our Abba’s plan, but I have to also acknowledge that I need to be seeking first His Kingdom and Righteousness (Matthew 6:33).
It’s not so much of where I stand according to my own misplaced visions, because all I was doing was misplacing myself out of the Righteousness of our Abba’s will. I couldn’t move forward according to His will if I was to keep seeking after the visions first without seeking His Kingdom and Righteousness first. The Lord knows the desires of my heart, the Lord knows where I need to be exactly standing according to His will. It’s not up to me to make sure that I compare myself to where I was a few hours ago. It’s up to me to seek first His Kingdom and Righteousness as all the things I need and desire will be added to me. It’s not the lack of faith in myself but keeping the faith in knowing and believing that My God, My Yah is my creator and knows exactly where I need to be standing. Even if it’s to repeat a lesson of life that I was seeking after my own knowledge and understanding first instead of my Abba’s.
