CHILD SPONSORSHIP IS A GOD DIRECTED BEHAVIOR


In Haiti with my sponsored Child (in pink) and her brother.
 In this world, we are either serving God or our goals and sometimes goals ‘in the name of God.’ In the presence of options, either God or the goals take the trophy home.

David was a man after God’s heart. That means, he had God Directed Behavior (GDB) and not goal directed behavior.

A god is a behavior that commands your bodily functions to the gratification of a temporary desire.

Temporary desires have killer instincts. King David arose from the bed and took an innocent stroll on the roof of his palace where he was faced with temporary desire with killer instincts. The situation demanded a decision: either a God Directed Behavior or a goal directed behavior. He sadly fell for the latter and developed these killer instincts. In his checked out state of mind, David served a temporary desire and gave out his functions to a god of illicit passions.

If we are to contrast David with another character in the Bible who chose to embrace God Directed Behavior faced with a similar situation, it is Joseph. The stakes were high. He chose God for temporary desires. What an inspiration in decision making!

So, next time you are about to make a decision, ask yourself, is this a God Directed Behavior or a goal directed behavior?

Take a look at your monthly budget; are there items in your list that can be knocked off and embrace a God Directed Behavior? You can as well add one item that is God Directed Behavior - sponsor a child. It is only 38 dollars a month. Compassion International releases children from Poverty through this God Directed Behavior.

I am a product of a God Directed Behavior. Someone knocked off an item from his budget and sponsored me 20 years ago. Today, I am released from poverty and I have knocked a temporary desire off my budget to sponsor a child.

Choose to know better and do that right thing that glorifies God. Sponsor a child today. Visit http://www.compassion.com/ and embrace a God Directed Behavior.
