Attitudes/Answers with Olen Baker

We don't deserve it, but God's pardon, grace and mercy is always right there in front of you.  No secret password or limited time offer.  

Little problems hve a way of growing into major conflicts, especially when we decide that our way is the best way.  Wrong in so many ways.  Lean on God to help the next time trouble comes your way.  Trust him, always.

It's not true, it's not fair, and it hurts.  God can help you discover the best way to answer the issue.  Use his wisdom and his words to help move forward.

We have a choice on what we believe and how we move through life.  You are, who you are, because of your actions and integrity.  Integrity will pull you through the most difficult times, it's true.

God had a plan in mind when he created you.  A plan for every moment of your life.  Sometimes we go in the wrong direction, and God is right there correcting our path.  Listening is the key.  Responding to his voice is the way.

I'll bet you've heard it.  When facing a tough decision, or up against a major conflict.  God speaks to us every day.  How we listen is the most important part.  Are you listening?

You can choose to walk away from God.  That's a choice, a dangerous choice, because your life was designed by God and walking with Him every day means you are on the right path.  Just in case you get lost, he's there to get you back on track.

Simply, never deny that a problem exists.  So, what's your trouble, today?  God is waiting to have a conversation.  

Yeah, trouble can be a speed bump in your life and we all experience trouble.  The key to moving ahead is simple.  Trust God to give you the wisdom and insight on how to move past trouble.  He really does have the answers for you.

Jealousy has the potential of blinding us to the truth.  The truth is the path to overcoming jealousy, and God is sending you a message to look in the mirror and see what needs to be changed, about you.

You can't avoide trouble in life.  To face trouble you must also face and connect with God.  He is the wisdom for how to overcome any issue.   Your walk is a daily walk with God, plain and simple.

Quick answer:  Yes.  God always gives us insight and wisdom for problem solving.  Quit searching the internet, just have a conversation with God.  No wi-fi needed.

Trouble breeds fear and confusion.  God is right there by your side, in good times and bad times.  Trouble will happen, but the good news is God has you covered.

When trust is absent, trouble can be overwhelming.  It doesn't have to be that way.  Trusting God is a choice, and an essential partner to have when trouble comes your way.

Trouble isn't designed to rob us of faith and confidence.  It is more of an exercise to help us understand victory.  Faith gives us the power to overcome what seems impossible.

If you measure life by other people' success, you will always come up short.  Insead, rely on your faith for direction and inspiration and focus only on who you are and what you have done.  You'll be surprised how cool you really are.

The fork in the road.  Which way do I go?  Some rely on their own decisions.  Other's rely on God's direction.  So, which one do you think is the path to follow?

Trouble lives just around the corner in everyones life.  Like the GPS that tells you if an accident is ahead, God can help you take an alternate route, every time.

In a word, no.  It's more like you giving up on God.  Don't let that happen.

Simple.  Living with the knowledge and wisdom of God keeps you focused and less vulnerable to others who might lead you in the wrong direction.  You need one connection, and only one.

So, where does God live within you?  Is it a casual relationship that you call on in a time of need, or do you live with God in your heart every day.  God rewards those who take that relationship seriously.

Stretching values to align with peer groups can put your path in a bad place.  If you are lost, have a conversation with God to get back on track.

It's not easy to live up to God's expectations, but it is necessary.  Ask for forgiveness and let God move you in the right direction.

We live life, depending on God's goodness and generosity.  That relationship is based on your obedience to him, plain and simple.

Where do you live in your relationship with God?  If you're living life on the edge, you will eventually slip away from his intentions for your life.  So, where are you in your walk with God?
