Second: you must take responsibility for your life. \u2018Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh\u2019s daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.\u2019<\/i> (Hebrews 11:24\u201325 NIV) First, Moses refused to be anyone but himself. Next, he chose to go God\u2019s way. The principle here is that you can always replace a negative with a positive. You don\u2019t just stop doing something\u2014you start doing something else. The Christian life isn\u2019t a matter of negative rules and regulations. It\u2019s a matter of relationships\u2014with God, with other people, and with yourself. <\/p>\n
Notice, Moses made his decision \u2018when he had grown up.\u2019<\/i> It\u2019s a mark of maturity when you can settle the issue of personal responsibility. When Moses was a baby, it was ok to postpone the decision about who he was. But when he became an adult he had to make a choice, assume responsibility for his own life, and move ahead. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s always easy to blame others: \u2018I\u2019d go God\u2019s way if my boyfriend or girlfriend, mother or father, husband or wife, would do it too.\u2019 Or, \u2018I\u2019d be a better person today if I had better parents.\u2019 You can\u2019t choose all the circumstances that come into your life, but you can choose whether those things will make you a bitter person or a better person. Ultimately no one can ruin your life except you! The devil can\u2019t, because he doesn\u2019t have enough power\u2014and God won\u2019t, because He loves you. So choose to go God\u2019s way! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
