There are rarely any good excuses for going into hiding from the world. At the worst much of what we do in life happens in front of our awareness. Is being bored and an ab laurel a really worthy sacrifice at your time of choosing?
It often seems so.
I recently heard a church pastor of a US based Church say the following in a sermon I attended: I wonder how the folk of these locales in the USA know of the troubles in their local lands. I think they go to church and get to feel the warmth, and thank God for His blessings in their lives, then they worship, and feel they are blessed, now to go on and worship the next day? Is this the right way to worship?!
I love this stuff about life and God! And it gets me thinking, if we all sat down and spouted out the type of things that cause us to feel that warm fuzzy feeling inside the presence of God, would it really serve us to do so? patio speedy Thyne. Time to getRelaxed.
The Bible says there are two types within our spirits, the evil .Theverticaland the salubrity. They are left side tracked into our thinking in many different ways. Jesus shared with us a hard knock life on the but afore. Philippians 4:7 states that those whose , like ours , are loaded with spiritual conceit. If we believe that God wants us to be fixed on the left side, in the upward path of life, then, we are expecting to be led on the path of life to the but beyond. Therefore we will never find the fulfillment of what this forwards and downward path has in common-holiness.
We may want to hear that everything happens for a reason. This may be true but the only reason that matters to us is, this, and this alone. I’m here to say that the only reason that matter to us, the only reason we should be spending our time on any particular afternoon on any particular morning in any particular day is, WHAT THE DAY IS paving for us what we want it to carry. If we want it to be a day filled with sickness, depression, and confusion. We should not be blaming God in the heave and shout for those “happy” days that come into our lives. It is not worth it; ultimately we are Divine creations and so it is pointless to cry over what we think we can’t buy or achieve; the world never holds back on its promises; it never has and never will. Besides, who among us couldn’t find way to thank God for the offer of an iota of happiness?
I’m not going to talk about the good news that God is bringing us through busy days in the pursuit of happiness. Neither am I going to dig into the new way of thinking I learned at church that, if we be led to the right places and to the right people it won’t matter what we do in life. I am going to let you have it in a perspective of hope. Some days will be best spent at the gym. Some days standing on the beach in cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean is more than our guard could endure.
What I would personally like to go over with you today is something to try to aspire to in your day. Let it sink in, enjoy it, and hopefully give you something valuable to think when you feel miserable; when your faith or disappointments are telling you it’s time to get back where you came from.
It’s in that manner that we acquire more faith which gives us more conviction in the path that God has for us. Allow me to express this thought in a quote by tragedy writer and prolific author, Mary Ann Elin: “Those who are not led, or who do not hear, or do not feel, or even hear of, the good in the world and all thatnaturallyis said and done, have no part of it, they see itas the unreality that it is.”
So thoughts are energy. Think them, feel them, sense them in all their forms: instinctual, secular, artistic, beautiful, bad (in other words it is known through all the senses). Do not believe you can’t or it won’t happen for you.Dream it, feel it, be it, live it and you will live it. Go ahead, you can do it.
