DON’T SETTLE!  Don’t settle for less than what God has for you.  To settle for something is to agree with.  Our life is not meant to be on the sidelines watching everyone else who refused to settle.  Our life is meant to be a reflection of God’s righteousness.  As a Christian, the Lord has declared us righteous.  To be declared righteous in the eyes of the Lord means we are justified because of Jesus and the Cross.  To be declared righteous means that the Kingdom of God is yours, that God’s eyes are upon you, that you are known, blessed and upheld by God.    To be declared righteous by the Lord means that your enemies will not move you off of the rock.  Psalms 55:22 “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”  This is promised to us in God’s Word.  We must decide who we agree with, whose plan we will settle for – the promise of the Lord or the lie of the devil.  Arguing, reasoning and debating God’s righteousness with the enemy is what keeps us on the sidelines;  DECLARE His righteousness in your life, get in centerfield and let the Lord make His face shine upon you!!  – Donna Warren
