TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
Sometimes, in order to
embrace the destiny God has in store, you have to be willing to make some
changes in your life. You have to be willing to examine where you are and
what you need to move forward. This may mean that you need to change some
friends that you’re spending time with. Maybe they were fine for a season in
your life, but now you’ve outgrown them. This is a new season, and in order
for you to rise higher, you have to break away from relationships that are
limiting you. You have to develop some new relationships with people who are
going to pull you up and inspire you to rise higher.
And, this doesn’t just mean
separating yourself from people who are holding you back spiritually. I’ve
found that if you’re the smartest one in your group, your group is too small.
Find people who will challenge you to stretch to the next level and become
everything God’s created you to be. Remember, he who walks with the wise
becomes wise. Choose your friends wisely and don’t be deceived. Surround
yourself with people who will cause you to rise higher so you can live in the
destiny God has in store for you!
