Words Of Encouragement To Start The Day ( Monday 6/15/09)

Today's Inspired Words Written By Tracy Koweh...

Who’s Controlling Your Swagg?

Isaiah 40:31 (New Living Translation)

³¹ But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Today’s message in the music comes from the hit song “Turn My Swagg On” by Soulja Boy. Swagg as defined by an unknown yahoo writer is - - - - a persons style, the way they walk, talk, dress. Swagger as defined by another yahoo writer is- - - to move with confidence, sophistication and to be cool.

I first heard this song Thursday morning on my drive home from work. I then heard it again at the UniverSOUL circus Thrusday night. It took me a few times listening to it, to actually catch the words but the theme of the song is that he wakes up in the morning and encourages himself. He looks in the mirror and tells himself “what’s up”. He pumps himself up before starting his day.

In the song he questions why he has so many people hating on him- - -when he hasn’t done anything to any of thing. The two points the Holy Spirit showed me was 1. that I don’t need anybody but myself to tell me how beautiful and wonderful I am and 2. that no matter how hard I try to please the world, there will always be those on my journey trying to stop my swag.

Today as we start another work week, let’s determine to be in control of our swag. Let’s make up in our hearts that no man or woman will have control over our swagg. I think the reason Jesus was able to do what He did on Earth, was because He was rooted in who He was in God. Therefore, no devil in hell could break His swagg. So children of God, determine today to walk in the boldness that your creator blessed you with and have a swaggalicious wee
