Romans 12:2, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Greetings friends! Morning has come to start a new day. Let us find joy in every moment we are allowed; to enjoy this day whether we are home, at work, school or vacation. Let’s find a way today to change the outcome of whatever we can just to bring happiness to ourselves or maybe to someone else. Maybe today you have time to prepare breakfast; not just a bowl of cereal but splurge with pancakes! Maybe today you are early to your destination so you take a longer route with new views! All outcomes can be changed at any moment according to how we feel the need. Choices made have outcomes that can be good or bad, but you are the one to flip that choice! The only thing you need to do before the choice is made, is to know whether you are in the will of God. You also need to know how that outcome is going to affect you or someone else. Are we putting forth the effort to really check yourselves on the positive results or are we just going for the negative? Do we place ourselves in situations where we cannot find the strength to change the outcome? Maybe we are waiting on someone else to take that step for us! Could be, we don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings or cause a ripple in a relationship! But what if that flipping of an outcome benefits all involved? What if the choice benefits your job and is welcomed? What if it is God calling on you to step up, to plant yourself, to give you courage? Maybe God is wanting the outcome to flip so His will can be done! So today, just ask God if it’s time for you to flip the outcome! Even in the little things, flipping the outcome can result in joy for not only the moment, but possibly the whole day, the week, maybe forever!

Dear Lord, thank you for giving us the ability to ask you about the choices that we make in our daily lives.
