He will help

Trish and I recently watched the movie Joy. It's the semi-autobiographical movie about Joy Mangano and her perseverance to see her invention brought to market. But, it's much more than that. It is a story of a normal dysfunctional family. It is a story about overcoming the hardships of life. It is the story of pursuing your dreams. It is the story of life.

I am not a guy that will tell you that you can be anything you want to be; that is absolutely not true. There are so many external circumstances, so many things beyond your control that can crop up that may prevent you from being the "King of the World". However, if GOD has placed a dream, a desire, a pursuit in your heart, then, by all means pursue it with all you have.

Today's word is a very familiar passage that I have used before but emphasizes what I am trying to get across today. It is Psalm 37:5, NLT, which reads, "Commit everything you do to the LORD, Trust Him, and He will help you.

Now, I don't know if Joy is a believer or not but I will say that, from what I took from the movie, she has a good heart. She knows that she has been blessed. She knows that she serves by serving and that she has been placed where she is for a reason. There isn't a lot of foul language in the movie, and very few things that most would find inappropriate, which speaks volumes about movies of this era. And, it speaks volumes of the character of the subject, Joy, which the movie is about.

What I am trying to get across is that if you will give what you desire, what you want, what you truly want to pursue to GOD. If you will allow Him to direct your path and if you will commit everything you do to Him, He will help you obtain those things. You may be the next big inventor, if that's your desire, and I look forward to seeing your movie.

Be Blessed,
