“Is This Who I Want to Be?” – Your Move
No matter how difficult a situation may seem in our life, eventually, it will become a 3-4 sentence story that we tell. We can’t predict outcomes, but we can control who we become. This second part of our Your Move series asks, “What Story Do I Want to Tell?”
(Due to technical difficulties, no recording was captured on this day)
Question #2: What Story Do I Want to Tell?
Proverbs 22:1 “Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold. ” NLT, Tyndale
When deciding, we often see CHOICES, not stories.
Measure how this ACTION fits in your story.
Understand your story is CONNECTED to others.
Genesis 39:8-10 But Joseph refused. “Look,” he told her, “my master trusts me with everything in his entire household. No one here has more authority than I do. He has held back nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.”NLT, Tyndale
Don’t set yourself up for a lifetime of LYING.
Genesis 37:31-32 “Then the brothers killed a young goat and dipped Joseph’s robe in its blood. They sent the beautiful robe to their father with this message: ‘Look at what we found. Doesn’t this robe belong to your son?’”NLT, Tyndale
Receive and Give GRACE.
Genesis 45:4-5 ““Please, come closer,” he said to them. So they came closer. And he said again, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into slavery in Egypt. But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives. ” NLT, Tyndale
Action Point
REHEARSE how the story will sound with yourself or a trusted friend.
