Daily Devotional: August 12 – Good Companion

I am a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your precepts – Psalm 119:63

We have heard that bad company corrupts good habits. We have heard that our network determines our net worth. So, let me ask you – with whom are you hanging around? Who are your companions? If you hang around fools, you will behave foolishly. If you walk with the wise, you will likely behave wisely. The person you will hang around with the most is your spouse. Therefore, it is important that you choose a partner who truly respects God and obeys His commandments. A person who truly fears God has a bright future and will be successful (see Psalm 112). On the other hand, a person who simply pretends to fear God will not be successful. Choose to be a person who fears God and delights in what He says to you. Your success in life has little to do with how many times you pray, go to church, speak in tongues, or play worship music around your house. It is only those who love the Lord and therefore keep His commandments that prosper. Therefore, let those who keep His commandments be your companions.

I will have to choose my partners wisely if I want it to be well with me and my family

Daily Devotional: August 11 – Self-Sabotage

I thought about my ways, and turned my feet to Your testimonies – Psalm 119:59

Sometimes, we are not victims of other peoples’ actions but victims of our own behavior! There are times we need to ask ourselves: What am I doing? There are times when we need to stop and look inwards to see if we are sabotaging and short-circuiting the destiny that God has planned for us by behaving in a way that is incongruent with His ways. We need to ask ourselves: What does my future look like if I continue to behave in this way? What does the future look like if I never exercise, if I continue to sacrifice my sleep, if I continue to drink and smoke excessively, if I continue to neglect my children, if I continue to go to work late, if I continue to be rude to others? There are simple changes we can all make today that would alter the trajectory of our lives tenfold. Take some time out today to really think about your ways. If your ways are not aligned with God’s ways, choose to turn divorce yourself from those ways and marry yourself to the God’s ways.

I choose not to be my own worst enemy
