Snares!!!

I woke up this morning determined to not let the enemy still my joy, hold me back, or get one ounce of Glory out of my life this morning. 

While on my Morning commute the Freeway as it always is heading into Downtown Atlanta was horrendous!!!  I had the bright idea to get off the freeway, although something was telling me to stay on, but my mind was to get off.

Literally ten minutes from work while passing through a school zone, on the last street of the school zone, there was a deep curve. Now most curves you have to accelerate through to keep up with traffic to avoid being hit from behind, as I did.

How many know the devil had his trap set. I drove right into the speed trap and yep I was pulled over 44 in a 35, but during school hours, its 25! One thing was different from the other 4 times I've been pulled over here in atlanta, sadly within a years time, I didn't get mad!

Now if you know me I get mad over spilled milk, literally! I guess to some extent I am some type of perfectionist in denial, well coming out of denial :).

Anywho, I am estatic that my faith was activated this morning. I believed God that I would keep a positive attitude, and immediately in this case I was urged not worry cuz its in his hands, it wasnt like getting mad was going to take back the ticket or anything. I am believing God to work on my attitude and last week as I had been praying for the same and started well, I eventually fell into the snare and failed to keep my emotions in check...


So Today was a shocker, I didnt believe that it was possible for my attitude to change after 13 years of hearing how horrible it was....

                                           but anything is possible in God. He reminds me of a scripture, 

Hebrews 11:6
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.


So if there is something you are believing God for, continue to believe! He hasn't let me down yet! I may have grown impatient, but never disappointed. Not by him! Sometimes we move too hastily out of impatience, instead of waiting for God to have his perfect work in us realized and we move into the driver seat, and all hell breaks loose. I know I've been there done that!  

So my point is, I asked God to help me with my attitude, and sure enough the trap was set, but God used it as a test and I passed! He says that all things work together for the Good of Those Who Love Christ and I am one of THOSE!!!! 

Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

So I say Believe, Recieve, and Proceed! Be Blessed!!


 Hebrews 11:1
[ Faith in Action ] Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
