Laying down your will

Topic: Finding the heart

Focus: Laying down your will

Philippians 2:14-15 (NKJV) Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world…

Whether you have a ‘plan’ of your own—or not, it doesn’t come naturally for any of us to always be agreeable to the plans of others. To be specific, being agreeable to the degree that we are able to cooperate with someone else’s plan without complaining or having a negative attitude.

You might wonder what ‘getting along with others’ and ‘being willing to cooperate’ has to do with recovery from depression and dependency. Truthfully, it has everything to do with it.

Having the heart to be truly compliant—or being completely willing and able to fully embrace with joy ‘the will of others’ and God—would quite possibly neutralize all of our reasons for being depressed and dependent.

The whole goal of this life is for us to be able to shine as lights in the world. According to Philippians 2:14-15, the only way we will be able to shine, is if we are blameless and harmless children of God, who are without fault. Being without fault, includes not  finding fault.

At the mention of being ‘without fault’, you might quickly jump in and counter that ‘nobody’s perfect’. However, it’s a given fact that Jesus lived a perfect life on earth. The Bible tells us He was tested in all of the same things we are tested—yet He was without sin (Hebrews 4:15). He is our model and the ‘standard’ of excellence we should be trying to live up to. Jesus told us how to get along with others. What He told us—and showed us—is really easy to understand. We just aren’t always good at following His directions.

In Philippians, the writer is reviewing the way to get along with other people by reminding us of the way Jesus lived. In a nutshell, Jesus was ‘willing to be humble’. He took upon Himself the form of a servant. A servant doesn’t disagree. If a servant is told to do something—he does it. He doesn’t complain or argue about what he’s been told to do.

Philippians 2:3-4 Says, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit (superiority complex), but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”

Let’s take a minute and think about the thing that is bothering us the most right now. How would that thing change if we decided to ‘agree’…providing it wouldn’t be doing anything that would be in conflict to the Word of God. What if we were able to cooperate instead of contend? What if we started living our lives completely to please others? Better yet, what if the pleasure of others became our joy? Let’s face it—sometimes when we have to end up cooperating, we ‘go along with it’, but we don’t put our heart into it. I’m reminded of a comic of a little boy who was having to do ‘time out’. He’s sitting in a chair and the caption is, “I’m sitting down on the outside, but I’m standing up on the inside.”

Isn’t that how we behave a lot of times, too? When we don’t get our way—we pout. Technically, we cooperate, but we make everyone around us miserable by our pouty attitude. When we pout—we really aren’t being humble or cooperative. Pouting is a way of punishing the people around us for forcing us to do what they want.

In verses 14-15 of Philippians 2, we are instructed to do all things without complaining or disputing so that we would become blameless and harmless and without fault. In other words, complaining and disputing causes us to be guilty of a fault. Frankly, being a person who complains and disputes is something that causes harm and is something that we may be blamed for.

To sum it up, if we have a habit of complaining and disputing or arguing—it means we have a spirit of criticism. It could also mean we have a superiority complex. A person who always thinks their way is best hardly ever gets along with others. A person who is a good listener and is willing to cooperate is respected and has many friends. Think about it.

Declaration: I will find new strength by finding the heart to cooperate. I will stop thinking my way is the only way and stop complaining, disputing, and pouting when I don’t get my way. As I become joyful about being humble, I will get along better with others. When I have the right attitude, others will see me as a child of God, and I will become a light in the world.

Finding the will to avoid the ‘stupid stuff’

By Leave a Comment

Topic: Overcoming

Focus: Finding the will to avoid the ‘stupid stuff’

2 Timothy 2:23 (NKJV) But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.

One of the biggest things that might keep any person from moving ahead as a true overcomer is knowing how to break old patterns involving conversation with people who tend to know how to push all the wrong buttons. In other words…figuring out how to keep from arguing with people who just like to argue.

Arguing is some people’s favorite pass time. They actually live to argue and seem to find pleasure in stirring up a conflict. I remember relationships in my past that were that way. I was pretty ignorant at the time and would jump right in, whenever I was challenged.

God doesn’t want us to be involved in worthless disputes. When two people argue—neither one is really a winner. A true winner is one who doesn’t get sucked into arguing in the first place.

Eliminating arguing from our lives can be a challenge—especially if someone you’re around a lot just doesn’t want to get along and always seems to be working at trying to get something going.

Knowing who you are in Christ can help when another person makes an uncomplimentary statement about you. If your mind is focused on what God says about you—you won’t be as affected by hurtful comments that are intended to cause you pain.

When somebody is trying their best to insult you and get you to defend yourself—just remember the example of Jesus when He was being mocked and jeered at by those who crucified Him. See your own situation as an opportunity to show your ability to act as Jesus would, if He were in your shoes.

New Strength Devotional Inspirational Statement of the DayA few practical things you can try when someone is attempting to draw you into a dispute are as follows:
  • Say nothing. That’s what Jesus did. When His accusers were trying to get Him to answer their stupid questions—He just didn’t say anything.
  • If you do give an answer, try to make your response in an even, controlled tone of voice. The volume of our words has a lot to do with whether a dispute goes further, or not.
  • Try to think of the one who is initiating a conflict with compassion in your heart. Think of them as a person who Jesus loves and died for. No matter how ignorant they may be of His ways—He still loves them and He wants you to do the same.
  • Think of the person who wants to argue as a little child who hasn’t learned to control their emotions yet. Realize there’s something about their character that still needs to mature, so show your own maturity by trying to respond to them in patient, understanding ways that will preserve peace.
  • Let the other person do the talking, and while they talk—recite the 23rd Psalm or the words to a simple ‘praise song’ in your mind. This kind of exercise is not just a mental distraction—it is a way of comforting and encouraging yourself in the Lord in the face of conflict.
  • Ask the other person to forgive you for whatever fault they are finding in you. Sincerely admit you’re not perfect and offer to work on whatever it is they are accusing you of.
  • Pray for them. Pray silently and ask God to fill you with His love for them. Ask Him to help you see them as He does. Ask for the ability to be a peacemaker. Ask that the Love of Jesus would flow through you to that person who wants to argue with you. Ask God to bless the one who is persecuting you.

Being in a relationship with someone who isn’t trying to be an overcomer is a difficult challenge. No matter how much you want to move forward—you can’t really make them want to do the same. They may resent who you are becoming and feel insecure about the improvements in your character. As you’re trying with all your heart to live a more stable life, it can be painful not to have support from them—which is something you could really use at a time like this.

Just remember, if you’re going to be a true overcomer, you will have to be able to endure trials of this nature. Your decision to recover can’t be based on whether everyone is giving you encouragement or getting along with you. Your decision to recover has to be a 100% commitment—even in the face of opposition. It has to work all the time—or it won’t work at all.

Declaration: I will find new strength by avoiding the ‘stupid stuff’ whenever possible. I will practice using my new strength skills during times when I might be tempted to argue.

Giving up the need to be right

By Leave a Comment

Topic: Humility

Focus: Giving up the need to be right

Isaiah 53:7 (NIV) He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth.

As we are trying to get the victory over depression and dependency, an area that will surely be tested is whether we are willing to let go of our need to have the last word. When you’ve already lost a lot of your dignity and possibly had to give up some of your possessions, your opinion may be a little hard to part with. Sometimes when you have a headache or didn’t sleep well, it might be especially tough.

‘Being right’ can be optional. It isn’t absolutely necessary to be right all of the time. In fact, the more you decide to give up the need to be right, the easier it gets. When there’s tension in the air over some issue, it can sure make life easier when one person is willing to ‘let it drop’.

Some people just like to argue. It doesn’t matter what the subject of conversation is, a person who enjoys arguing will take the opposing view just to get things stirred up. They actually don’t care what the topic is at all. They are just used to differing and pushing a point. If you decide to let them have the last word—they will often mock you, just to try to keep things going. Or, if you try to accept their point of view—you might see them change their position and start arguing from the opposite view they were just trying to convince you of.

Isaiah 53:7 (NIV)

In that kind of situation, you have to be willing to let them say what they will—if you really want to have peace. It’s hard to have a conversation of any kind with people who have a habit of arguing and not become defensive. But, that’s where the test comes.

Another test besides getting to the place where you don’t have to have the last word, is giving up your right to defend yourself and take the blame for something that really wasn’t your fault. This can be complicated. We’ve all seen it played out in some dramatic situation on TV or in a movie, where the ‘hero’ gives up his right to defend himself. While you’re watching, you can’t help thinking, ‘Why doesn’t he say something?’ But, the point is being made that the person has made the decision not to come to his own defense. It seems like it would be easy for him to say the truth about the situation—he just doesn’t.

New Strength Inspirational Statement of the DayJesus is the best example of both of these types of humility. As He was being questioned before His crucifixion—He was right and He knew it. He just didn’t have to prove anything to those who opposed Him. He knew His purpose was to die, and arguing about things wouldn’t have helped one way or the other. He wanted to see the fulfillment of God’s plan for mankind carried out—so He laid down His rights and let history take its course.

In Exodus chapter 14, we see the story of the children of Israel being led out of 400 years of bondage in Egypt. After the pharaoh decided to let them leave—he changed his mind. They had been sent out peacefully, but suddenly, the whole Egyptian army was coming after them in hot pursuit. As they approached the Red Sea it seemed like even though they had finally escaped, now they would be killed. Moses told them, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Almost everyone knows the end of that story. God caused the Red Sea to part. The water literally stood up on the left and right, creating a passageway through the sea. The children of Israel walked across on dry land, and as the Egyptians tried to come after them—they were swallowed up as the walls of water collapsed.

God honors those who are willing to put their trust in Him. When we are willing to lay down our rights—He will fight for us. We may not see an immediate change in our situation—we may never see a change at all. But, God will bless us for humbling ourselves.

Try to comfort yourself with the words, ‘God knows’. That’s all that really matters, isn’t it? In the end—He will have the last word in your behalf. Cultivate the attitude of desiring ‘peace at any price’. ‘Being right’ isn’t worth as much as ‘having peace’. If you think ‘proving your point’ will bring peace, you’ll probably be disappointed. Being right doesn’t always bring unity…and unity is an important part of peace. Someone who always has to be right doesn’t usually have very many peaceful relationships.

Declaration: I will find new strength by laying down my need to have the last word. I will be still and let the Lord fight my battles. I will pursue peace at any price—even at the cost of my right to defend myself.
