011716 | The Journey | Part Three | Allen Hickman

The journey that we are on has several levels and different road that we may have to travel.  Some levels are difficult and some roads are rocky and curvy and hard to traverse. God has given us a few things that we must learn how to manage.  Manage through His rules, regulations and precepts.  Many think that we have it all figured out and our lives deny that we do.  That is why we must depend and count on our creator and listen to His ways.

There are three things that we must learn how to manage God’s way or we run the risk of getting side tracked and lost on our journey to wholeness.  We must learn to manage our expectations, of others, God and ourself.  Remember people are not perfect, God is not going to do it your way and newsflash; you are not perfect either. On this journey the road of your words is a precarious and dangerous one.  Our words are powerful.  We must learn to speak positive, generous and carefully so that we do not steal peoples faith or their hope.   We are emotional people.  Some are driven and ruled by the emotions.  If we do not manage our emotions we will derail our journey and ending up crashing and burning.

If we do not manage those three things we will have a hard and arduous life.  God has given us what we need to manage those things so we can thrive as His children and affect positive change in our world.
