Choose This Day Whom You Serve

“Choose this day whom you serve.”  On December 6,2024, I woke up with those words in my head and got up to pray. Lord, I did waste yesterday, binge ate Christmas treats and binged watched Christmas movies.

Both christmas treats and Christmas movies are not wrong. They are actually good things, Christmas pleasures. But. . . to binge on treats and movies are not. I wasted the day You gave me. I didn’t reach out to others.

There are many who are struggling now and need encouragement. You called me to be an encourager. There are many in need of prayer. You called me to be a prayer warrior. But I didn’t encourage or pray.

In fact it was a struggle to pray altogether. My mind bounced from one thing to another. I couldn’t focus on my prayers or my Bible reading. So I just ate my treats and watched my syrupy movies. As a matter of fact, I only focused on my own pleasures.

My child, I called you to a higher purpose than to watch movies and eat pleasure food. Your prayers for others are so important. Not only to help them, but they also help you as well. Reading My Word benefits yu in so many ways. It builds your spirit, sharpens your mind, strengthens you, provides you with wise instruction, and My Word gives you peace of mind. 

Eating Christmas treats are not bad in itself, but that pleasure only lasts for a short time. The pleasure of My Word lasts for an eternity. Every time you feed on My Word, you strengthen your mind and spirit.

Binge eating treats provides no strength at all. It only weakens, due to the extra weight they cause. Therefore choose healthy. Hot chocolate is nice, but water is more beneficial. Choose the best for your body.

Yesterday is gone. So what do you choose for today, your fleshy pleasures or the strength of My Presence? Why don’t you binge pray today and binge read My Word too. See how that affects your outcome for this day?

Yes Sir. Help me to focus more on You and Your Word versus my fleshy pleasures. I love you and I want to please you.

Child, I love you and I want what is best for you, My victory.
