Not Just A Decision!

What does it take to fulfill an intention?

Just a decision!

Yet, it takes a lot to muster enough strength to make a decision abeit a small and simple one. Commitment in a decision helps to bear fruit to it. Decisions are easily uttered through the mouth but it takes a whole heart to realise it. It is easy to aye to a decision, accomplishing it is another matter.

Like this morning, while brushing my teeth, I decided to wash my car after breakfast. With a mug of the loveliest coffee, I slumped my body to my comfy cushy chair to catch a little bit of the morning news and was trapped sitting there until my wife, looking slightly annoyed, asked whether I am ready to be served 'dinner!'

What! It's dinner time?

"Hey! I thought I heard you muttering in between brushing your teeth this morning that you are going to wash the car?", scowled a very sweet and patient already used to my character wife.

I am writing this to remind myself how easily most times I told my Saviour Jesus about my intended repentance from certain weaknesses in my lifestyle. It's so easy to pray and say I decided to turn away from heavy eating and bingeing at the sight of anything edible. But when I encountered all these glorious food, I just give in and stretched out my hands towards those food.

I could never be able to muster enough strength to bolt from food that seems to appear everywhere and every time when I could feel strength enveloping me. I failed each time.

Today, I thanked Jesus in the Holy Spirit to reveal me it's secret about making decisions and conforming it.

The strength lies in my Saviour Jesus! The knowledge of this fact was with me since birth! Yet, this knowledge never served me well but speaking into my heart to convict me each time when I needed it most! The Devil must be working overtime to keep the knowledge from divulging me.

I just decided to make a donation to an orphange. Knowledge whispered audibly to me that I could never do it on my own. I thanked my heavenly Father for my Saviour Jesus who promises me He'll be my partner in everything I wished to do.

Merry Christmas!
