Words Can Turn Into Stumbling Blocks

                                                                                            Psalm 32:8
                                                                      "I will instruct thee and teach thee in thy
                                                                          way which thou shalt go: I will guide
                                                                                       thee with mine eye."

        Let's get real when we talk about stumbling blocks in our life. I say real because they are real, and the reason they are real, is we bring most of them to life our self. You are probably saying; "what is he talking about."  My friends, I am talking about the words we use in our daily planning as a servant of God. Here is just a few that I am sure you will recognize: "if, but when, I can't, and how.
        These are the most used words, when we don't want to do, what we have been ask to do! Most  Christians turn to God with prayer and supplication as they plan their day. "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear" (Isa. 65:24).
        The little "if" is a dangerous word for a believer to use, because "if" shows doubt in your heart, and it is the lead off word for all the others. How many of us has used all these words in one sentence, while trying to give an excuse to God for not doing what He ask; because it took a sacrifice from you to do what needed to be done. For example: "Lord if I could I would, but I can't, plus I don't know how or when I would be able to.  What's wrong with that? Let's take out all the doubt words and replace them with God's perfect will! "For I Know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" (Jer. 29:11).
        Amen!!
