What is Your God Reminder?

Seek to please Me above all else. As you journey through today, there will be many choice-points along your way. Most of the day’s decisions will be small ones you have to make quickly. You need some rule of thumb to help you make good choices. Many people’s decisions are a combination of their habitual responses and their desire to please themselves or others. This is not My way for you. Strive to please Me in everything, not just in major decisions. This is possible only to the extent that you are living in close communion with Me. When My Presence is your deepest delight, you know almost instinctively what will please Me. A quick glance at Me is all you need to make the right choice. Delight yourself in Me more and more; seek My pleasure in all you do.
“The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”- JOHN 8:29
By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.- HEBREWS 11:5–6
Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.- PSALM 37:4

Instead of seeking to please yourself today, please God. Before you make a decision think about the repercussions and how God will view the situation. When we have a close relationship with God, like we talked about yesterday, this will come naturally. When we feel God's presence over our lives all of the time, the questioning in our decisions will disappear because God will show us the answer, no matter how big the decision may be.

To me it may seem like a lot of work, seeking God's answer for every single situation we go through each day. But, I do think that once we try to reach this goal, it will be more feasible with God on our side. After all, we are living our lives to further His kingdom, not our own.

Find something that will be a reminder for you to seek His wisdom today, whether it be a picture, a small prop or the bible. Find something that can be your God reminder.
