Dispositions 1 - Stubborn and Legalistic

DISPOSITION: is a habit, a preparation, a state of readiness, or a tendency to act in a specified way.

Everyone is born with a certain disposition in them. Some are good and some are bad. Some are cute and some are nasty. Some can be changed and some cannot be changed but they all can be controlled. 

Now, I would like us to look at the dispositions that do not please God. Sins in dispositions. Some people were born stubborn and some are born very legalistic.Those are the ones who if they believe something to right, that is how it should be and there's no one who will convince them otherwise. In short, these people are "always right". 

Mostly these people are very rigid, they are unbending creatures and they are not willing to be molded.They are often "perfect" and in their perfection, there is no room for correction. They are not gentle towards others. 

The pride of such people hides under their disposition so that they will convince themselves that they were born that way. This is not Godly but for a born of God Christian, this should be a concern and it needs to be dealt with. 

Ask God for help if you are one of the stubborn and legalistic people. Nothing is impossible for Him. 

Watch out for our second discussion on Dispositions. 

Stay Blessed. 

Never Doubt God

I have learnt this and I still am.

When tough situations strikes, your head spins and your nature wants to complain and find something to blame. When this happens, most times it's because we didn't do anything wrong but all our eyes can see is injustice.

"Why is my marriage falling apart?"
 "Why is my job a mess?"
"Why does everyone hate me so much?"
 "Why there's no one who understands me?"

etc...

With these questions we have our minds blank and we often do not have any strength to defend ourselves. And we shouldn't even try to defend ourselves because we TRUST in God. When this happens, lets be in prayer and communicate with God about what is it that He wants to achieve with us.

It won't be easy but trust me, it is worth it.

Most times His ways are not man's favorite but they are ALWAYS man's needs. Doubting God is not an option.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones." Proverbs 3:5-8

Stay Blessed.
