It has been one month and one day, since my last Blog Post - as one attempt after another continues to be swallowed up by time and so many distractions.
During
these past four weeks, I have been dealing with a small issue - while others I love dearly have had their own difficulties on varying levels in their lives.
The dominant word of the Lord kept coming
back to my asking each, and myself - is God really being placed First and Foremost in your life? or are you trying to do too many things on your own?
Seek Ye First, the Kingdom of Heaven,
from Matthew 6:33 - is another bible verse that sounds like a suggestion, but is really a command. Loving yes, but a command no less.
Not having Christ directly in front of me at all times,
and not seeing things thru His eyes, the heart he gave me for the loving Father - has usually lead to disaster or other negative things to happen to me and around me.
I want to expand on this, and
I will. But for now, physically look at yourself in a mirror, and ask (yourself) "Did I put God first in my life yesterday? Am I ready to put Him first today, and from this point moving forward? None of us is perfect, and this is no easy
task, considering the world and society we live in. So we need to establish new habits, and new muscle memory of doing what is right, for ourselves and for the Kingdom.
IF we are not "right"
with the Lord, and seeking Him in ALL things - then how can we be of any use to our Brethren in the Lord. If we cannot encourage each other, how can we witness and bring those to Christ who are still lost?
Remember this Brothers and Sisters, anything I write here is just as much meant for me - even on days and weeks I am doing well and abstaining from sin. We ALL need to be reminded, of the things that do not come easy to us. We continue to
view our Faith walk in an earthly time clock - when the Lord has seen us from before conception, and will see us long after life on this planet.
With His love, and blessings in great abundance to
each of you!
