Hopeful Heart

Not a drone robot

I just recently purchased a drone for more aerial photography. Just like a child who has acquired a new toy, I had fun in programming it and learning to move it the way I wanted it to. The drone flew the directions I wanted it to, captured images within the setting I have set and does not veered off in an unplanned direction.

When God created us, He purposely crafted us in His very image and we are given the ability to think, decide and choose between right or wrong. We were even gifted the ability of free will ; we are not programmed like a drone or robot. With this gift, it is easy to form a habit of committing offences or even disobeying God and follow our own human reasoning.

The prophet Ezekiel advised the Israelites, “Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, people of Israel?” (Ezekiel18: 30 – 31)

As God’s children, we can choose to change and not be a slave to sin and “die.” Let Holy Spirit empower you to take a step of change and walk in the likeness of God.
 
Romans 8: 13
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

- John W.

The Lord is my shepherd. That’s relationship.
I shall not want. That’s supply.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures. That’s rest.
He leads me beside the still waters. That’s refreshment.
He restores my soul.That’s spiritual healing.
He leads me in the paths of righteousness… That’s guidance.
… for His name’s sake. That’s purpose.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death… That’s tribulation.
… I will fear no evil… That’s protection.
… for You are with me. That’s faithfulness.
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. That’s discipline.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. That’s hope.
You anoint my head with oil, my cup runs over. That’s abundance.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. That’s blessing.
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord…That’s security.
… forever. That’s eternity.

Romans 8:37-39 ESV
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
