Therefore, when I plug in with Him I place myself on a sure track of ascension, acceleration and upgrade. It is inevitable. Yesterday before getting my dance day started I was encouraged by passages of scripture found in 2 Peter 2:9 and 2 Timothy 2:20-21. These verses hi-lighted that I am God's personal possession and because I choose daily to live by The Spirit, cleansing myself from dishonorable things, I have positioned myself to be used as a vessel of honor. Taking on this role ensures that I have also been prepared for every good work. My success(in this particular instance) is advantageous and is biblically aligned to be a result of my decision to live righteously. Nothing besides being called of God, chosen and prepared for every good work qualifies me for what I do and am going to do. I present no assumption that includes laziness because I know that God Himself will command a blessing on the works of my hands. In every situation I can show up as who I truly. And who I am cannot be defined nor undefined by anyone or any challenge. Tried and true and built to last.
