Consequences Are The Action To Your Response
Whoever said consequences were bad! No matter who we are, we all have made choices that have consequences; some good, some not so good. Consequence is defined as the result or effect of an action or condition. All our actions have consequences. Sometimes those may not be evident immediately, they will manifest at the appropriate time. In everything we do and in everything we say there is a consequence, and that consequence is the action to our response and our response is a reflection of the heart.
“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.” Romans 8:5-6
Through all the trials and tribulations that Joseph went through, the consequences to his response were rewarded by Yahweh our father. Despite being sold into slavery by his brothers, Joseph’s response was to remain faithful and trust God. He had to choose his response and his response reflected his heart leading him to become a man of authority.
Every moment that we walk through we have a choice to make, a response and that will lead to a consequence, negative or positive. How will you be a demonstration of positive consequences today? It is all in our response. It is all in our YES and AMEN!
