DESIGNED OR DEFAULT?? WHICH LIFE ARE YOU LIVING??

Computers and other electronic devices come with a default setting for it’s operating program. The new owner of the device has the option to design and upgrade the device to more efficient and specialized programs. Our lives are much the same. We were born in this world in a default state of living, but God wants us to live out the new designed life He has planned for us. Designed means planned, or conceived in detail, or for a specific purpose. Default means failure to fulfill an obligation. The life you live will be determined by you choosing. (Joshua 24:15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestor’s served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.) God has designed a purpose for your life. It is a design filled with love, direction, fulfillment, discipline, joy, peace, dedication, and devotion. Your designed life will bring contentment like you’ve never known when you live it daily. The challenge to live your designed life is met daily with tactics by Satan to cause you to fail. Whether you lived the designed life or fell back into the devault life you were born with is determined by the choices you make. Each day you have an opportunity to live out that new life God has designed for you or to live out the desires of the old man God redeemed you from being. The choices are difficult and to live out a designed life takes discipline and daily connecting with God who is the designer. Start your day by reconnecting to your designed life.
