Pitch your tent toward God

Pitch your tent toward God... not what is evil.

Over the weekend I heard a remarkable sermon about pitching your tent towards the good in life. I have never heard a sermon specifically about a tent. Who knew it would have such an impact on my current life?  It is very difficult for me to hear every sermon or testimony with kids in a small church. However, this night in particular, God opened my ears and allowed me to hear what was meant for me. It was definitely meant for me! I learned there is no time to settle! Don't settle and pitch your tent towards something negative that is involved in your life. There is time to move! As an example in Genesis 13, Abram pitched his tent in the wrong direction and ended up being tempted and losing his wife. In any circumstance in your life that is filling your heart with sadness or negativity... Just Turn your tent in a different direction! We should not settle in a place God has created for us to simply pass through. When we make decisions that limit God and his providence for our lives, we are building tabernacles in a land where God has called us to simply pitch a tent & grow! Your happiness is dependent on your outlook on life. Which can be toward the good or the bad. It's our choice! I chose to turn my tent around! Away from the evil that brings me down and doesn't bring me happiness. With my tent being pitched towards evil it  brings negative thoughts. It brings a disturbed mind & causes me to stay in this tent that is in the wrong direction even longer. Being pitched in the negative direction will cause my sight for the positive to get foggy. I will lose my FAITH and Hope little by little. When God sends a message and you have heard it with open ears and a desiring heart, GRAB A HOLD and DON'T LET GO! Move that tent! Don't settle and be destroyed little by little. Move your tent during the storms! Through the tears & fears! It's time to turn your tent around and Pitch it toward GOD! It's my turn!
