Look Straight Ahead

Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil (Proverbs 4:27).

That scripture means to just look straight ahead and to stay away from people, places, and things that have nothing to do with God, Jesus, Yahweh, Jehovah...The things that will throw you off course. Those are the things that will take you so far away from God that you will wonder who you are anymore. Look straight ahead then you will tend to go in that direction. Stay on track, stay focused on what's in front of you. Think of it this way: when athletes run, they don't look back, they don't look to the right or to the left. They simply look forward to what's ahead of them, not behind them. Remember, Lot's wife looked back even though God told her not to and she was turned into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26). No judgment there, because haven't we all looked back in regret and sorrow because of the defeat, the trauma, the heartache, the pain? Or haven't we all looked back wondering if we were missing something? I thank God for His grace, otherwise we would all be pillars of salt, huh?

Anyway, just realize that the finish line is in front of you and it doesn't matter how far off it seems, you will get there. Just stay focused on the prize, because it hasn't moved. It's still waiting for you to catch up to it, because it still has your name on it.

Protecting My Peace - Day 98 - Momentum and Movement, That’s What's Up

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves.

In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately.

Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.
