I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way, which thou shalt go: I
will guide thee with mine eye (Psalm 32:8).
The human spirit or person is influenced by three important factors:
principles, relationships, and actions. These three control your plans, purposes,
and pursuits in life. A principle is a moral rule, belief or an assumption that
controls, influences or explains personal conduct or the behaviour of a
society. It explains how or why something works or happens the way it does.
It’s also a basic theory or truth; an idea that forms the basis for anything.
Individuals, families, and even societies can have their own principles,
which they created consciously or unconsciously for themselves. These are
principles they formed through certain beliefs, ideas, and assumptions in their
heads. There’re certain people who, for example, say that they don’t believe in
God; they’re living according to a particular principle or thought; an idea in
their minds. Now, whether that idea is right or wrong isn’t what we’re dealing
with, but the fact that that principle is what orders, controls and influences
their lives.
The second factor is relationships. There’re different kinds of
relationships: biological, geographical, emotional, spiritual. These forms of
relationships have something to do with your life. The family you come from,
your neighbours, friends, and colleagues; your interaction with them every day
has some influence on your life. Your friends—those that make you happy or
sad—have an influence on your life. Then your spiritual relationships: your
relationship with God, the devil, demons, angels, fellow Christians, and even
with those who don’t know God; they all exercise certain spiritual influence on
your life, positively or negatively.
The third is your actions. Every action has consequences, and many don’t
realize this. The important thing about your actions isn’t about now; it’s
about the ripple effect they’ll have on the rest of your life. Your present
actions, most certainly, have already affected your tomorrow, whether or not
you realize it.
Have a good understanding of these three factors, and channel them in
the right direction for your benefit, so that you’ll live by the right
principles, have the right relationships, take the right actions, and become
all that God wants you to be. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the instructiveness of your Word. I’m
guided aright by your Word, as I meditate on it. I observe and actualize
Word-based principles in my life. I engage in the right relationships, and my
actions are always in accordance with your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study:
1 Timothy 4:15-16 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Psalm 1:1-5 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the
scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he
meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of
water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.4 The ungodly are not so: but are
like the chaff which the wind driveth away.5 Therefore the ungodly shall not
stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
